A formal enantiospecific synthesis of California red scale pheromone

Abstract
Cleavage of α,α-disubstituted β-bromoketone intermediates derived from (+)-camphor forms the basis of an alternative enantiospecific synthesis of (Z)-3-methyl-6-isopropenyl-3,9-decadien-1-yl acetate (1), one of the sex pheromones of the female California red scale, Aonidiellaaurantii (Maskell).
