Pheromones, 95. - Synthesis and Application of Deuterium-Labelled Lepidoptera Pheromones and Analogues for the Study of Pheromone BiosynthesisBy deuteration of suitable alkynes with D2 and Wilkinson catalyst deuterium-labelled building blocks are obtained which can be transformed into the corresponding [D4]-, [D8]- and [D9]-labelled pheromones and pheromone analogues. These unsaturated deuterium-marked compounds can be converted into saturated [D6]- and [D8]-analogues of Lepidoptera pheromones by a second deuteration or subsequent hydrogenation. The analogues, comprising potential biosynthesis precursors of pheromones, were applied in vivo to female insects and deuterium incorporation into the final products of biosynthesis was recorded by GCMS.
