Pheromones 80.1Synthesis of (S)-(+)-Manicone and (S)-(+)-Normanicone, Mandibular Gland Constituents of Myrmicine Ants

Abstract
Optically active (4E,6S)-(+)-4,6-dimethyloct-4-en-3-one (10a), manicone, and (3E,5S)-(+)-3,5-dimethylhept-3-en-2-one (10b), normanicone, the biologically active stereoisomers of mandibular gland alarm pheromone components of Manica ants, were synthesized by three different routes starting from (S)-(-)-2-methylbutan-1-ol (1).
