✦ Synopsis


Reaction of acetaldehyde with the trianion of 4,6-dimethylnonane-3,5, 7-trione followed by acidification yielded a stereoisomeric mixture of the pheromone of Stegobium paniceum L. The sex pheromone produced by the female drugstore beetle, Stegobium paniceum L., was recently isolated,' and the structure 4&was assigned to it on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence. 2 Here we record a simple biomimetic synthesis of 2 as a mixture of two diastereomeric racemates. The synthetic scheme shown below is based on the recent progress in the chemistry of diand trianions.

## Abstract Two benzodiazepines, Diazepam and Flunitrazepam, labeled with carbon‐14 in position 5 of the diazepine ring have been synthesized. Use of a condensation between iminochlorides and ^14^C‐benzonitriles, followed by exhaustive methylation of the resulting quinazolines and hydrolyses is des
