Abstract: In this paper,(+)-Eldanolide,one of the pheromones of the male African sugarcane borer (Eldana Saccharina), was stereoseiectively synthesized by employing Michael addition of (+)-(R )-4-methyl-1-(p-tolysulfinyl)-3-pentene to trans-methyl crotonate, deoxygenation of the sulfoxide group by sodium iodide and trifluoroacetic anhydride,regioselective methylation by trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate and stereospecific lactonation by potassium t-butoxide through an SN2 mechanism. The enantiomeric excess of the total synthesis is about 39% e.e.and the ratio of trans-and cis-disubstituted lactones is trans: cis= 92: 8.
Key words: Eldanolide, Chiral sulfoxide, Michael addition
