title: Stereoisomers and analogs of 14-methyl-1-octadecene, sex pheromone of peach leafminer moth,Lyonetia clerkella, L.
abstract: The synthesis of the enantiomeric 14-methyl-1-octadecenes in >99% EE is described. Enantiomeric 2-methyl-1-hexanols were intermediates in the synthesis. The 1-alkene had been previously identified as the sex pheromone of the peach leafminer moth. Several closely related structures that have δ12 unsaturation are also described.
