Abstract
Abstract A simple and efficient stereoselective synthesis of (E)- and (Z)-trisubstituted alkenes has been accomplished by treatment of the acetyl derivatives of the Baylis–Hillman adducts with Zn in saturated aq. NH4Cl solution under reflux. The method has been utilized for the preparation of the two chiral insect pheromones, dominicalure-I and dominicalure-II, of the lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica (F).
