Abstract
The coffee leaf miner, Leucoptera coffeella, is an economically important pest of coffee trees in Brazil. It has been demonstrated that the main sex pheromone component of this species is 5,9-dimethylpentadecane, however the stereochemistry of the natural pheromone remains unknown. We describe herein an enantioselective synthesis of three stereoisomers of 5,9-dimethylpentadecane from commercial (−)-isopulegol.
