Both enantiomers of 2-methyl-4-heptanol and 2-methyl- 4-octanol, the minor components of the aggregatio pheromone produced by th emale and female West Indian sugarcane borer (Metamasius hemipterus), have been synthesized starting from natural product (S)-leucine. The key step is preparation of (2R) and (2S)-4-methyl-1, 2-oxidopentane from (2S)- 4-methyl-entane- 1, 2-diol. The optical purity of the target products is over 95%.
