✦ Synopsis
An efficient and highly diastereoselective synthesis of lamoxiren¢ (cis-2-cyclohepta-2,5-dienyl-3-vinyloxirane, 4), the gamete releasing and -attracting pheromone of the Laminariales (Phaeophyceae), is reported. Ethyl cyclohepta-2,5-diene carbox~ylate ( ) is effectively alkylated to provide the svn-a-chlorohydrin 8 via reductive chloroallylboration with DIBAL-H and (Z)-y-chloroailyl-BBN. Cyclisation of the ehlorohydrin 8 is readily achieved with DBU yielding the pheromone in 25% overall yield from the cyclopropyl ester 5.
