Hydroalumination-iodinolysis of 3-butyn-1-ol (2) provided E-4-iodo-3-buten-
1-ol (4E) as the major product. This compound was transformed in three step
s into the leaf roller moth sex pheromone 1 with high (>99% de) stereoselec
tivity and good overall yield (4 steps, 39% from 2). (C) 1999 Elsevier Scie
