Covering: 2013 to June 2022 Pheromones are usually produced by insects in sub-
microgram amounts, which prevents the elucidation of their structures by nuclear magnetic …

Enantio-and diastereodivergent routes to marine-origin natural products with different sizes
of cyclic ethers and lactones have been used in order to assign stereochemical features …

A general protocol is described for inducing enantioselective halolactonizations of
unsaturated carboxylic acids using novel bifunctional organic catalysts derived from a chiral …

The BINOL-amidine organic catalyst 1 was previously shown to promote highly efficient
enantioselective halolactonization reactions of olefinic acids. As part of these studies, it was …

In this review, we have described various syntheses of disparlure (a sex pheromone emitted
by female gypsy moth) and its stereoisomers and analogues over the last three decades …

To study the binding mechanism of disparlure (7, 8)‐epoxy‐2‐methyloctadecane
enantiomers with pheromone‐binding proteins (PBPs) of the gypsy moth, oxygen‐17 or 18 …

A simple, flexible and efficient organocatalyzed synthetic approach for the synthesis of (−)-
trans-,(+)-trans-and (+)-cis-disparlures has been described. The pivotal reaction sequence …

A simple strategy for the formal synthesis of the sex pheromone of gypsy moth (+)-disparlure
from L-(+)-tartaric acid is described herein. The key steps include the mono-esterification …

A novel enantioselective synthetic approach of (-)-(5R, 6S)-6-acetoxyhexadecan-5-olide, an
oviposition attractant pheromone of the mosquito Culex pipiens fatigans is presented …

Recently the Martin group developed a bifunctional organic catalyst that promotes highly
efficient enantioselective halolactonization reactions for olefinic acids. Using the BINOL …
