Pheromone Synthesis. Part 194. Synthesis of the Enantiomers of (Z)-21-Methyl-8-pentatriacontene, the Major Component of the Female-Produced Contact Sex Pheromone of the Yellow-Spotted Longicorn Beetle, Psacothea hilaris. -The (R)-enantiomer of the title compound (I) is synthesized starting from (S)-citronellol in 12 steps and an overall yield of 44%. Its (S)-enantiomer is synthesized analogically starting from (R)-citronellol in an overall yield of 37%. -(DOMON, KENJI; TAKIKAWA,
