Abstract

Both the enantiomers of lardolure were synthesized in 100 % optical purity and 99.6 % diastereomeric purity by use of Fráter's diastereoselective alkylation as the key-step. Since (1R,3R,5R,7R)-enantiomer showed the same ORD sign and bioactivity as those shown by the natural pheromone, the structure of lardolure was established unambiguously as (1R,3R,5R,7R)-1,3,5,7-tetramethyldecyl formate.
