Abstract
All of the following six components of the female sex pheromone of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.) were synthesized: (3 S,11 S)-3,11-dimethyl-2-nonacosanone ( 1), its 29-hydroxy derivative 2, its 29-oxo derivative 3, (3 S,11 S)-3,11-dimethyl-2-heptacosanone ( 4), its 27-hydroxy derivative 5, and its 27-oxo derivative 6. Both the enantiomers of citronellal were employed as the chiral sources and Wacker oxidation was employed for the introduction of the carbonyl group at C-2.
