Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Sap beetles produce aggregation pheromone blends that are composed of conjugated triene and tetraene hydrocarbons having all E-isomer configuration. The preparation of these compounds was improved in terms of yield and isomeric purity. A new E-isomer selective alkylidenation sequence, that allows much better stereochemical control than the Wittig reaction, will be presented.
