Abstract

(Z)-13-hexadecen-11-yn-1-yl acetate (2), the sex pheromone of Thaumetopoea pytyocampa, and (5Z,7E)-5,7-dodecadien-1-ol (3), a sex pheromone component of Malacosoma disstria, have been prepared in high chemical and stereoisomeric purity by synthetic schemes involving the stereospeific coupling of ω-functionalized 1-alkynes with (Z)- or (E)-1-iodo-1-alkenes in the presence of a catalytic amount of (PPh3)4Pd and Cul, under phase transfer conditions.
