## Abstract The racemate as well as both the enantiomers of sordidin (1‐ethyl‐3,5,7‐trimethyl‐2,8‐dioxabicyclo[3.2.1])octane were synthesized, and the natural pheromone was shown to be (1__S__,3__R__,5__R__,7__S__)‐(+)‐1.

## Abstract The asymmetric synthesis of (1__S__,3__R__,5__R__,7__S__)‐(+)‐sordidin and 7‐__epi__‐(1__S__,3__R__,5__R__,7__R__)‐(–)‐sordidin, both components of the natural male‐produced aggregation pheromone of the banana weevil __Cosmopolites sordidus__ (Germar), starting from 2,2‐dimethyl‐1,3‐dio
Male-specific volatile components released by the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus Gen~ar, from Australia have been identified as (1S,3R,5R,7S)-1 -ethyl-3,5,7-trimethyl-2,8-dioxabieyclo[3.2.1 ]octane and the 7R-epimer (as a minor component) by synthesis and enantioseleetive gas chromatography.
