Abstract
The paper describes two practical syntheses of 5,9-dimethyl-heptadecan e, the sex pheromone of the leafminer moth Leucoptera scitella (Lepido ptera, Lyonetidae). The first route (Scheme 1) involves as key reactio n the coupling of 2-methyl-hexyl magnesium bromide with 3-methyl-undec anal. The second route (Scheme 3) is based on the Schlosser-Fouquet co upling reaction of 2-decyl-magnesium bromide with 4-methyl-octyl bromi de.
