Embodiment 1

[0125] Synthesis of 5-decene: Self-metathesis of 1-hexene

[0126] refer to Figure 9A , to a dry 2-L round bottom flask was charged 225 g (2.67 mol) of 1-hexene (obtained from Amoco with a purity greater than 95%) and a magnetic stir bar. The flask was sparged with nitrogen for 10 minutes. Catalyst 823 (2.2 g, 2.7 mmol) was added, and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. Ethylene gas was observed to evolve from the reaction. Spent catalyst was removed by filtering the reaction through 200 g of 60-200 mesh J.T. Baker Silica Gel in a 1.5 inch x 22 inch chromatography column. The chromatographic column was washed with 300 mL of petroleum ether (38°C to 55°C boiling point). The solvent and unreacted 1-hexene were removed under reduced pressure to yield 115 g (0.81 mol) of 5-decene. This product was used in the next reaction without further purification.

Embodiment 2

[0145] Synthesis of 5-Decene: 1-Hexene Self-Metathesis

[0146] refer to Figure 9A , to a clean 72 L round bottom flask (high efficiency reflux condenser with -10 °C circulating coolant) attached to a pneumatic overhead stirrer was added 48 L (384 mol) of 1-hexene (obtained from Amoco, purity over 99 percent, using without further purification). Stirring was started and the solution was sparged with nitrogen from subsurface for 15 minutes. Catalyst 823 (10 g, 0.018 mol) was added and stirred under nitrogen for 18-24 hours. Ethylene is discharged into the exhaust pipe through the high-efficiency condenser.

[0147] After 24 hours, GC analysis indicated 60 to 70 conversion of 1-hexene to 5-decene. The reaction mixture was passed through 2.5Kg of silica gel (Fisher 170-400 mesh, ) filter to remove the catalyst used.

[0148] The skilled person will appreciate that the starting material can be used in the next reaction without purification of the intermediate compound. ...

Embodiment 3

[0170] Synthesis of 5-Decenyl Acetate Using Catalyst 848

[0171] Also refer to Figure 9A , produce 5-decene as above embodiment 1 or 2, perhaps with catalyst 848 ( Figure 5A ) instead of catalyst 823.

[0172] Also refer to Figure 9B , to a 100 mL round bottom flask with a magnetic stir bar and vacuum adapter was added 10 g (70.4 mmol) 5-hexenyl acetate and 30 g (214 mmol) 5-decene. The reaction was sparged with nitrogen for 5 minutes, then 20 mg of Catalyst 848 was added and stirred under 10 mm Hg vacuum for 45 minutes.

[0173] The metathesis catalyst was removed as previously described, yielding a clear liquid. GC analysis indicated 78% conversion of 5-hexenyl acetate to 5-decenyl acetate with an E:Z isomer ratio of 82:18.

Abstract

The present invention relates to metathesis syntheses for insect sex-attractant pheromones or their components, such as E-5-decenyl acetate, the major component of the Peach Twig Borer pheromone; (5R, 6S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide, the mosquito oviposition attractant pheromone; E9, Z11-hexadecadienal, the pecan nut casebearer moth pheromone; 9-tetradecenyl formate, an analog of the Diamondback Moth (DBM) pheromone; 11-tetradecenyl acetate, the Omnivorous Leafroller (OLR) pheromone; E-4-tridecenyl acetate, the major component of the Tomato Pinworm (TPW) pheromone; E,E-8,10-dodecadienol, the Codling Moth (CM) pheromone. The syntheses preferably employ a Class I-IV metathesis catalyst, entail few reaction steps, use generally commercially available starting materials, and have relatively short process times. These syntheses produce good yields without the need for expensive or sophisticated equipment. The invention also provides an inexpensive route for producing omega-haloalkenols by cross-metathesizing alpha-omega-diacetoxy alkenes and alpha-omega-dihalides to yield omega-haloalkenols, which are easily converted into omega-haloalkanols under traditional hydrogenation methods.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to synthetic pheromones or components thereof, and in particular to metathesis reactions to prepare biologically active compounds and intermediates, such as insect attractant pheromones or components thereof, such as E-5-decenyl acetate , the main component of peach resin borer pheromone; (5R, 6S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide (hexadecanolide), mosquito oviposition attractant pheromone; or E9, Z11-hexadecanolide Dienal (hexadecadienal), a pheromone in the larval moth of Hickory nut moth. Background of the invention [0002] Insect pests destroy crops and / or spread disease. Common pest control methods include spraying crop fields, orchards, wetlands, forests, or other habitats of pests with insecticides. This approach is problematic because the pesticide is applied directly to the crop or water, a practice that is detrimental to the optimization of living species as well as water quality issues and other environmental consid...
