Notes:
Both the enantiomers of rhynchophorol [(E)-6-methyl-2-hepten-4-ol (1)], the male-produced aggregation pheromone of the American palm weevil (Rhynchophorus palmarum), have been synthesized by reducing their precursors, (R)- and (S)-6-methyl-2-heptyn-4-ol (2), which have been prepared by lipasemediated asymmetric hydrolysis of the corresponding acetate and propionate.
