| Abstract: | ![]()
L-Phenylalanine was converted to optically impure (R)-(+)-2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-ol 2 (19% e.e.) .(R)-(+)-2 (96% e.e.) was prepared by a kinetic resolution of (±)-2. Acetylation of the pure (R)-(+ )- 2 gave the pheromone of the Comstock mealybug ( Pseudococcus comstockii KUWANA) [(R)-(+)-1]. |
