✦ Synopsis

Base exchanges occurred in an additional eight positions resulting in an overall homology of 87%. Similar evolutionary processes can be deduced from the tRNA)~N sequence.

The Locusta gene of 70 nucleotides is 3 bp longer due to two base insertions in the T~PC and a third in the V loop. An additional seven base exchanges result in an overall homology of 86%. The tRNA~j%N sequence reveals an AA mismatch at the beginning of the anticodon stem (see arrow). An AA mismatch in the same position is reported for a tRNA Val gene in Neurospora [11]. Examples for mismatches in the T~C stem are a TT mismatch in the phe tRNAvv c gene of Tetrahymena [1] and in a tRNA Val gene from A. albopictus [5].

A copy of the leu tRNAcv N gene indicated in Fig. 1 A is found within a cloned DNA fragment of nuclear DNA homologous to mitochondrial genes [6,12,13] and is thus part of a "promiscuous, DNA" sequence.

## Abstract The synthesis of (5__S__,9__S__)‐5,9‐dimethylheptadecane (1) as well as that of (5__S__,9__S__)‐5,9‐dimethyloctadecane (2) has been achieved by starting from methyl (__R__)‐3‐hydroxy‐2‐methylpropanoate (3a) and (__S__)‐citronellal (7).

All of the stereoisomers of 10,14-dimethyloctadec-1-ene (1), (Lyonetia prunifoliella), were synthesized by starting from the enantiomers of citronellol (4) and methyl 3-hydroxy-2-5,9-dimethyloctadecane (2) and 5,9-dimethylheptadecane (3), the sex pheromone components of the apple leafminer methylpro
