Abstract
Various aspects of pheromone synthesis are reviewed by analyzing examples published between 1990 and early 2003. Syntheses executed with new methodologies such as organoborane reactions, organotransition metal chemistry including olefin metathesis, asymmetric epoxidation, asymmetric dihydroxylation, other asymmetric chemical processes, and stereoselective biocatalysis are selected to illustrate the usefulness of new reactions in pheromone synthesis.
Keywords: asymmetric dihydroxylation, biocatalysis, isoprenoidal pheromones, olefin metathesis, Pheromone acetals, Pheromone epoxides
