Notes:
Ozonolysis of the easily available monoterpenoids (-)-1 and (+)-1 leads in high yield to the ketoaldehydes (-)-4 and (+)-4, which serve as convenient intermediates for efficient new routes to both optical antipodes of the naturally occurring octenediol (E)-2 (Monarch butterfly secretion product) and octene-dicarboxylic acid (E)-3 (Callosobruchus chinensis sex pheromone). All steps proceed with almost complete retention of configuration, ensuring the synthesis of the target compounds with high optical purity.
