All of the stereoisomers of 10,14-dimethyloctadec-1-ene (1), 5,9-dimethyloc
tadecane (2) and 5,9-dimethylheptadecane (3), the sex pheromone components
of the apple leafminer (Lyonetia prunifoliella), were synthesized by starti
ng from the enantiomers of citronellol (4) and methyl 3-hydroxy-2-methylpro
panoate (11).
