Methyl trans-hexa-5-decenoate is dihydroxylated using AD-mix-alpha fol
lowed by treatment with thionyl chloride to furnish cyclic sulfite 8 a
s the major product. The cyclic sulfite 8 is oxidized to the cyclic su
lfate 2. Highly regio- and stereospecific ring opening of (4S, 5S)-car
boxybutyl-5-decylcyclic sulfate generated in situ by the hydrolysis of
2 furnished (5R,6S)-6-hydroxy-5-hexadecanolide 9 in high yield. Acety
lation of 9 afforded natural oviposition attractant pheromone 1 in goo
d yield. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
