β¦ Synopsis
mitting all of the synthetic samples to careful bioassay. By the request of Prof. Burkholder, we undertook the synthesis of four optically pure stereoisomers of 5-hydroxy-rlmethyl-3-heptanone. 0.rr strategy was to synthesize all of the four stereoisomers starting from a single chiral source, methyl (R)-3-hydroxypentanoate 3. This hydroxy ester 3 was readily available in quantity by a microbial process,j and extensively employed by us for natural

## Abstract The relative configuration of the naturally occurring 3βmethylβ4βoctanol (1), the maleβproduced aggregation pheromone of __Rhynchophorus phoenicis__, was determined as __syn__ by a GC comparison of the synthetic (Β±)β__syn__β and (Β±)β__anti__β1 with the natural product.

## Abstract Both the enantiomers of rhynchophorol [(__E__)β6βmethylβ2βheptenβ4βol (1)], the maleβproduced aggregation pheromone of the American palm weevil (__Rhynchophorus palmarum__), have been synthesized by reducing their precursors, (__R__)β and (__S__)β6βmethylβ2βheptynβ4βol (2), which have b
