Abstract

Pheromones U 1280Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of the Aggregation Pheromones (S)-2-Methyl-4-octanol and (4S,2E)-6-Methyl-2-hepten-4-ol. -The title pheromones (V) and (VII) are prepared using enzymatic resolution of alkynol (I) as the key step. A second enzymatic resolution is used for the preparation of enantiomerically enriched alcohol (S)-(I). -(MARQUES*, F. A.; ZIMMERMANN, A.; DELAY, C. E.; SALES MAIA, B. H. L. N.; Lett. Org.
