A short and efficient enantioselective synthesis of (+) and (-)-(Z)-7,15-hexadecadien-4-olide: the sex pheromone of the yellowish elongate chafer, Heptophylla picea

The (R) and the (S) enantiomers of the Z-7,15-hexadecadien-4-olide (4), the sex pheromone of Heptophylla picea, were synthesized. A known lipase-catalysed enantiolactonization in the key step afforded a common precursor for both enantiomers of the pheromone in 92% e.e.
