The key chiral synthons, (R)-3-isopropenyl-6-heptenoic acid and (R)-3-isopropenyl-6-heptenal, needed for the synthesis of (3Z,6R)-3-methyl-6-isopropenyl-3,9-decadien-1-yl acetate, a component of the sex pheromone of the California red scale, Aonidiellaaurantii, have been prepared by asymmetric synthesis. The chiral acid was synthesized in 86% ee by an asymmetric 1,4-addition of isopropenylmagnesium bromide to the l-ephedrine amide derived from (E)-2,6-heptadienoic acid, followed by base hydrolysis. Acid hydrolysis gave the chiral 3-(3-buten-1-yl)-4,4-dimethylbutyrolactone. The chiral aldehyde was prepared in greater than 99% ee by an asymmetric 1,4-addition of isopropenylmagnesium bromide to the imine derived from (S)-(+)-tert-butyl 2-amino-3,3-dimethylbutyrate and (E)-2,6-heptadienal. The 1,4-addition reactions of n-butyllithium or isopropenyllithium to (4S,5S)-(+)-2-[1-(E-1,5-hexadienyl)]-4-methoxymethyl-5-phenyl-2-oxazoline gave the addition products, and sequential mild hydrolysis and reduction of these adducts yielded chiral 3-n-butyl-6-hepten-1-ol for the former adduct but a mixture of products was obtained from the latter adduct.
