Abstract
(+)-Erythro-(5S,6R)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide, an optically active form of the major component of an oviposition attractant pheromone of a mosquito Culex pipiens fatigans, was synthesized enantiospecifically from (+)-(R,R)-diethyl tartrate.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
