title: New syntheses of the rice moth and stink bug pheromones by employing (2R, 6S)-7-acetoxy-2,6-dimethyl-1-heptanol as a building block.
abstract: (2R, 6R, 10R)-6,10,14-Trimethyl-2-pentadecanol, the female pheromone of the rice moth (Corcyra cephalonica), methyl (2R, 6R, 10R)-2,6,10-trimethyltridecanoate, the male pheromone of the stink bug (Euschistus heros) were synthesized by employing (2R, 6S)-7-acetoxy-2,6-dimethyl-1-heptanol as the common chiral building block.
