Abstract
A highly stereospecific method for the synthesis of racemic Zdisparlure has been developed which is based on the reduction of 2methyloctadec7yne with the aid of 9borabicyclo331nonane and the epoxidation of the resulting Z2methyloctadec7ene with pmethoxycarbonylperbenzoic acid The13C NMR spectra of the Z and E isomers of 2methyloctadec7ene and 2methyl78epoxyoctadecane which unambiguously confirm the structures of these compounds are given It has been established that E2methyloctadec7ene exhibits a moderate attractant activity while the Z isomer does not attract the gypsy moth The addition of 5–25 of Edisparlure increases the biological activity of Zdisparlure
