REGIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF CERALURE-B-1 AND CERALURE-A, ETHYL CIS-5-IODO-TRANS-2-METHYLCYCLOHEXANE-1-CARBOXYLATE AND ANS-5-IODO-TRANS-2-METHYLCYCLOHEXANE-1-CARBOXYLATE
Jw. Avery et al., REGIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF CERALURE-B-1 AND CERALURE-A, ETHYL CIS-5-IODO-TRANS-2-METHYLCYCLOHEXANE-1-CARBOXYLATE AND ANS-5-IODO-TRANS-2-METHYLCYCLOHEXANE-1-CARBOXYLATE, Tetrahedron letters, 35(50), 1994, pp. 9337-9338
Reaction of trans-2-methyl-6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-7-one with trimeth
ylsilyl iodide, generated in situ, followed by refluxing with ethanol
gives regioselectively ethyl cis-(and trans-) 5-iodo-2-methylcyclohexa
ne-1-carboxylate, a persistent attractant for male Mediterranean fruit
flies.
