Abstract

A convenient new synthesis of the two pheromone components of the tomato pest Tuta absoluta in high overall yields and high stereoselectivity (30% yield, E,Z,Z 97% for the major compound and 23% yield, E,Z 99% for the minor component) is reported. The approaches compare favorably with others previously described.
