Three insect pheromones, (2!,5S)-P-methyl-5-hexanolide, (3z,llSl-3,11-dimethyl-2-nonacosanone, and serricornin, were synthesized in optically pure forms by using newly developed asymmetric reactions as key steps. Optically active insect pheromones have been one of the challenging targets of organic
