Abstract
Highly stereoselective boronic ester chemistry has been used to synthe size the drugstore beetle pheromones stegobiol and stegobinone. The co nvergent route utilizes a single intermediate containing all of the st ereogenic centers for both segments of the pheromones, requires only o ne chromatographic separation, and is the first synthesis to provide p ure, crystalline samples.
