Abstract
Z-14-methyl-8-hexadecenal and its E-isomer were identified as the essential female secreted sex pheromones of trogoderma species of insects. Since the discloser of its structure in 1969, ( Z )-(-)-14-methyl-8-hexadecen-l-ol and methyl ( E )-(-)-14-methyl-8-hexadecenoate as the sex pheromones have been the subject of intense study by the synthetic organic community. Several strategies have been developed for the total synthesis of these exciting pheromone molecules and they are discussed in detail.
