F. Tellier et al., SYNTHESIS OF A BIOLOGICALLY-ACTIVE CHLORINATED ANALOG OF (E,E)-8,10-DODECADIENOL (CODLEMONE), Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 3(8), 1993, pp. 1629-1632
An efficient stereoselective synthesis of a chloro analog of codlemone
, based upon the palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of functionaliz
ed alkenylalanes with (E)-1,2-dichloroethylene, is described. This ana
log is more active than the natural pheromone in field tests.
