The poison gland of the Pharaoh's ant contains two attractive alcaloidal pheromones, which are components of its odour trail l-3 . The Dufour's gland, however, produces trace amounts of a much more active compound, the true trail pheromone. We now wish to describe
## Abstract Faranal (1), the trail‐following pheromone of the worker of Pharaoh's ant (__Monomorium pharaonis__), was synthesized by the coupling reaction of the iododiene 3 with the chiral building block 8 as the key step. The geometrically pure iododiene 3 was prepared by the zirconocene‐mediated
Glycosylation of the readily accessible benzyl 2-acetamido-6-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-3-O-[(R)-1-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-alpha- D- glucopyranoside with 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-beta-D-glucopyranosyl chloride (2), using the silver triflate method in the absence of a base, afforded 65-70% of t
