Abstract
A short, convergent synthesis of 1,3Z,6Z,9Z-tetraene hydrocarbons was developed. A key step was the regioselective alkylation of 1,5-dibromo-2-pentyne. The method was used to synthesize tetraenes of chain lengths C18–C20, to be used in field trials as sex attractants and (or) inhibitors of the winter moth, Operophterabrumata L., and the Bruce span worm O. bruceata H. (Lepidoptera: Geometridae).
