Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pesticide chemistry technology, specifically a method for synthesizing the sex pheromone of the cucumber beetle. Background Technology
[0002] The cucumber beetle (Diabrotica balteata LeConte), belonging to the family Chrysomelidae in the order Coleoptera, is a major pest of cucurbit crops. Its host plant range is very wide, including vine-like cucurbits such as cucumbers, sweet potatoes, beans, and zucchini. Control is particularly challenging in organic farming due to its increased resistance to pesticides and restrictions on chemical pesticide use. The cucumber beetle primarily feeds on cucurbit plants, with both adults and larvae causing damage. Adults feed on leaves, flowers, and fruits, while larvae mainly feed on roots and near-surface stems, leading to stunted growth and even plant death. This pest has a high reproductive rate, and when population density is too high, it can rapidly and devastate crops. It also spreads bacterial wilt disease, causing severe economic losses. Using the cucumber beetle's sex pheromones to control this pest offers high precision and environmental friendliness while effectively reducing economic costs. This technology provides a sustainable and efficient solution for agricultural pest management and has broad application prospects.
[0003] Currently, the structure of the cucumber beetle sex pheromone has been determined by spectral analysis to be 6,12-dimethylpentadecane-2-one. Field trapping experiments have confirmed that the female cucumber beetle's sex pheromone is (6R,12R)-6,12-dimethylpentadecane-2-one (as shown in formula (1)). The absolute configuration of this compound is R-configuration at the C-6 and C-12 positions, which is crucial to its biological activity. The other three stereoisomers have no attraction effect on males.
[0004] In existing technologies, various strategies have been employed for the synthesis of (6R,12R)-6,12-dimethylpentadecan-2-one. In 1987, Chuman et al. used methylcycloacetone as a starting material and constructed a carbon-carbon skeleton via Grignard reagent coupling, hydrogenation, and Wittig coupling, synthesizing the racemic form of the cucumber beetle sex pheromone in an overall yield of 3.9%. This route determined the molecular structure of the cucumber beetle sex pheromone, providing a foundation for further determination of the absolute configuration of the molecule. In 1988, Mori et al. used (R)- and (S)-citronellol as chiral sources, obtaining four chiral modules, respectively. These were then used to construct a carbon-carbon skeleton via alkylation coupling with phenyl sulfone, preparing four isomers of the cucumber beetle sex pheromone in an overall yield of 38%. In 1995, Enders et al. used (4S,2E)-4-benzyloxyphenyl 2-butenyl sulfone as a starting material, obtained a tetracarbonyl iron complex via metallization, and then synthesized two chiral methyl modules from the tetracarbonyl iron complex. Following alkylation coupling, a C-C bond skeleton was constructed. This method achieved high enantiomeric purity (ee > 99%) and a good overall yield (13 steps, 39%). In 2002, Chow et al. reported the preparation of (R)-configuration cucumber beetle sex pheromones from 1,8-nonadiene as a starting material, via m-CPBA oxidation, hydrolysis kinetic resolution (HKR), Grignard coupling, and Me2CuLi reagent methylation to construct chiral centers, with an overall yield of only 0.43%. In 2024, Wu et al. used n-valeryl chloride as a starting material, and through Evans asymmetric alkylation and S-methylation of sec-toluenesulfonate... N 2. Alkylation to construct the chiral center. Another intermediate was obtained by ring-opening, decarboxylation, and toluenesulfonation of the chiral source (R)-2-methylethylene oxide. Finally, the two chiral intermediates were coupled and oxidized with Grignard reagent under LiCuCl4 catalysis to yield the (R)-configuration cucumber beetle sex pheromone.
