Abstract
Abstract (Z)-13-hexadecen-11-yn-1-yl acetate (2), the sex pheromone of Thaumetopoea pytyocampa , and (5Z,7E)-5,7-dodecadien-1-ol (3), a sex pheromone component of Malacosoma disstria , have been prepared in high chemical and stereoisomeric purity by synthetic schemes involving the stereospeific coupling of ω-functionalized 1-alkynes with (Z)- or (E)-1-iodo-1-alkenes in the presence of a catalytic amount of (PPh 3 ) 4 Pd and Cul, under phase transfer conditions.
