Chemoenzymatic synthesis of (2R,6R,10R)-6,10,14-trimethylpentadecan-2-ol, sex pheromone of rice moth (Corcyra cephalonica), and of its (2S,6R,10R)-diastereomer

Abstract

Based on the catalyzed by lipase Amano PS kinetic separation of the two-component mixture of diastereomers of (2RS,6R,10R)-6,10,14- trimethylpentadecan-2-ol in the acylation with the succinic anhydride we obtained the (2R,6R,10R)-6,10,14-trimethylpentadecan-2-ol, the sex pheromone of rice moth (Corcyra cephalonica) and its (2S,6R,10R)-diastereomer. © 2011 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
