F. Simonelli et al., A SHORT AND STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF THE SEX-PHEROMONE OF BONAGOTA CRANAODES (LEPIDOPTERA, TORTRICIDAE), Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, 9(4), 1998, pp. 371-373
A stereoselective synthesis of (3E,SZ)-dodecadienyl acetate, the sex p
heromone of the leafroller moth Bonagota cranaodes, was efficiently ca
rried out using a methodology based on the coupling of Z-alkenyl cupra
te with 4-iodo-3-butyn-1-ol in the key step.
