Serricornin is a female-produced sex pheromone of the cigarette beetle (Lasioderma serricorne), which is a pest of dried foodstuffs and tobacco. We report a versatile and short synthesis of all possible 6,7-syn-isomers of serricornin, including the natural isomer. Starting from the SAMP and RAMP derivatives of diethyl ketone we obtained four different enantiopure and diastereomerically pure serricornins. The main advantage of this method is that only a single kind of chiral starting material is needed for the construction of three stereogenic centers. During the synthesis further useful intermediates including (R)- and (S)-1-benzyloxy-2-methylpentan-3-one (4) and (2S,3R)- and (2R,3S)-1-iodo-3-(methoxy- methoxy)-2-methylpentane (9) were obtained.

Abstract The absolute configuration of the conformationally flexible (4R,6S,7S)-serricornin, a non­ natural isomer of the female-produced sex pheromone of the cigarette beetle (Lasioderma serricorne), was determined by comparison of measured and calculated circular dichroism spectra. The rotational strengths were calculated by means of the semiempirical CNDO/2S-method. The total synthesis was accomplished by the SAMP/RAMP-hydrazone method.
