AbstractAn efficient synthesis of an enantiomer of insect's natural pheromone is reported starting from chiral pool D-(-)-pantolactone. Highly stereoselective tandem conjugate addition/cyclization sequence and hydrogenation of exocyclic double bond are the key steps in the present synthesis. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
