A 2% crosslinked divinylbenzene-styrene copolymer, incorporating trityl chloride groups (2) was used in the synthesis of insect sex attractants of Lepidoptera by a two-step alkyne coupling route. Polymer 2 reacted with the symmetrical diols, 1,8-octanediol and1,10-decanediol, to give the monoblocked polymer-bound diols 5 and 6 respectively. Mesylation of 5 and 6 gave the polymer-bound monomesylates 7 and 8 which on coupling with lithioacetylide gave the polymer-bound terminal alkynes 9 and 10 respectively. Acid cleavage of 9 and 10 provide 9-decyn-1-ol and 11-dodecyn-1-ol respectively. A second coupling step was performed by lithiation of 9 and 10 with n-butyllithium or tert-butyllithium followed by treatment with n-butyl bromide or ethyl bromide to give polymer-bound internal alkynes, which on acid hydrolysis gave 9-tetradecyn-1-ol (22), 11-hexadecyn-1-ol (23), and 11-tetradecyn-1-ol (24). If 10 had been lithiated with n-butyllithium and coupled with ethyl bromide, some translithiation occurred to liberate n-butyl bromide which entered into the coupling reaction eventually giving a mixture of 23 and 24. This problem was resolved by the use of tert-butyllithium in the lithiation step. Attempts were made to reduce polymer-bound internal alkynes stereoselectively to cis-alkenes with 9-borabicyclononane, diisobutylaluminum hydride, and catechol borane but all these reagents proved inadequate due to incomplete reduction, overreduction, hydrogenolysis of the alkyne from the polymer, and non-selectivity. Polymer-bound internal alkynes were quantitatively reduced exclusively to cis insect sex attractants using disiamylborane without concurrent overreduction or hydrogenolysis.

A 2% crosslinked divinylbenzene–styrene copolymer, incorporating benzoyl chloride groups, was used to monoprotect the symmetrical diol 1,10-decanediol. The corresponding monotrityl ether and cis-10-tetradecen-1-ol were prepared by this system, the latter by a Wittig reaction of a polymer-bound ylide with an aldehyde in the solution phase. A series of bifunctionalized resins containing proximally located trityl alcohol and benzoic acid groups was prepared in an attempt to prepare diol linked to the polymer via both a trityl ether and a benzoate linkage. It was established that these polymers bound 1,10-decanediol exclusively at one end only. Polymers, containing both trityl alcohol and benzoic acid groups in a random array or polymers containing proximally located trityl alcohol groups, gave mixtures of both monoprotected and doubly protected diol.
