A Short and Stereoselective Synthesis of the Sex Pheromone of Bonagota cranaodes (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

A stereoselective synthesis of (3E,5Z)-dodecadienyl acetate, the sex pheromone of the leafroller moth Bonagota cranaodes, was efficiently carried out using a methodology based on the coupling of Z-alkenyl cuprate with 4-iodo-3-butyn-1-ol in the key step.O acetato de (3E,5Z)-dodecadienila, feromônio sexual da lagarta enroladeira da maçã, Bonagota cranaodes (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), foi estereosseletivamente sintetizado empregando-se uma metodologia envolvendo o acoplamento de Z-alquenil cuprato com 4-iodo-3-butin-1-ol, como etapa chave
