Os enantiômeros (R) e (S) da Z-7,15-hexadecadien-4-olida (4), o feromônio sexual da Heptophylla picea foram sintetizados. Na etapa chave foi utilizada uma enantiolactonização já conhecida, intermediada por uma lipase, levando a um precursor comum de ambos enantiômeros do feromônio em 92% de e.e. Z-7,15-hexadecadien-4-olide (4), the sex pheromone of Heptophylla picea, were synthesized. A known lipase-catalysed enantiolactonization in the key step afforded a common precursor for both enantiomers of the pheromone in 92% e.e.
