ω-Nitro ketoaliphatic compounds 3a and 3b, prepared by a new and efficient route, have been elaborated to short syntheses of both 2,7-dimethyl-1,6-dioxaspiro[4.6]undecane, [(2S,5R,7S)-1a] and 2,7-diethyl-1,6-dioxaspiro[4.6]undecane [(2S,5R,7S)-1b], the pheromones produced by Andrena haemorrhoa and Andrena wilkella, respectively.

ω-nitroaliphatics - baker's yeast reduction - nonsymmetrical diketones - spiroketals - pheromones - cyclizations
