Abstract
Synthesis of penta‐deuterated intermediate precursors d~5~(E)‐11‐14:Acid (7), d~5~(Z)‐11‐14:Acid (10) and d~5~14:Acid (12) of the pheromone of the Egyptian armyworm Spodoptera littoralis has been accomplished by a very convenient route starting from the commercially available 9‐dodecyn‐1‐ol. The processes occur with a high to excellent chemical and stereochemical yields and the compounds have been successfully used in the confirmation of the pheromone composition and biosynthesis of our strain.
