Abstract

Synthetic methodology developed for (–)-(5R, 6S)-erythro-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide,which is a D-ribose based synthetic pheromone used to promote mosquito oviposition. The important steps involved are Grignard reaction, oxidative cleavage of 1,2-diol followed by Wittig-Horner reaction, lactonization with magnesium and acetylation.
