title: Enantiodivergent synthesis of both enantiomers of gypsy moth pheromone disparlure.
abstract: Enantiodivergent synthesis of both (-)- and (+)-disparlure, a bioactive pheromone, possessing a cis-epoxide has been accomplished. The key step involves the cross metathesis of a chiral homoallylic alcohol derived from l-(+)-tartaric acid.
