An expedient enantioselective synthetic approach for the gypsy moth sex-attractant pheromone cis-(+)-1 and trans-(+)-disparlure 2 is described employing the optimized combination of organocatalytic MacMillan’s self aldol reaction, Wittig olefination, regioselective ring opening of an epoxide and Mitsunobu esterification reactions as key steps.
