The primary fragmentation products of castor oil, namely, Me undec-10-enoate and sebacic acid were converted into synthons I (n = 7-10). A surprisingly clean decarboxylative elimination of sebacic acid monoester gives Me non-8-enoate, a synthon related to recefeiolide and a precursor to I (n = 7), the utility of which, was illustrated with the synthesis of phermomones of Grapholita molesta. Me dec-9-enoate was prepared from Me undec-10-enoate. Me non-8-enoate was transformed via I (n = 8) to the pheromones of Spodoptera frugiperda, Heliothis virescens and Paralobesia viteana. I (n = 9), readily prepared from Me undec-10-enoate, was used to illustrate a new strategy in pheromone synthesis, namely, the use of coupling elements, leading to the preparation of bombykol in high yields and excellent stereochem. purity. I (n = 10), already reported, was transformed to vaccenic acid, the transposed π-isomer of oleic acid, in good yields, thus demonstrating the use of acetylide synthons for the preparation of rare fatty acids.
