Abstract

A new synthesis of nonadeca-1,cis-3,cis-6,cis-9-tetraene, the sex pheromone of the winter mothOperophtera brumata, has been developed which involves the alkylation of bromomagnesium derivatives of tetrahydropyranyl ethers of mono- and diacetylenic alcohols by a monoacetylenic bromide, followed by hydrogenation of the resulting triynol to a trienol, oxidation of the latter to an aldehyde, and interaction of the latter with methylenetriphenylphosphorane.
