Part I: Synthesis of sex pheromone of the pine sawfly, Macrodiprion Nemoralis. Part II: Synthetic studies towards the total synthesis of iriomoteolide-1a by Chin, Yen Jin

“…In the first part of this thesis, an elegant display of the CuI-Tol-BINAP-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition is established in the total synthesis of sex pheromone of the pine sawfly, Macrodiprion Nemoralis (SRRS-1). The key features of our strategy are: (I) one-pot DIBAL-H reduction–Wittig olefination, (II) olefin cross metathesis of fragment A and fragment B, and (III) a CuI-Tol-BINAP-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition using Grignard reagents in good yields and excellent stereoselectivities. …”
