Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are industrial and economical methods for producing 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-yl acetate (3), which is, for example, a sex pheromone component of Comstock mealybug, and 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-ol (2), which is an intermediate of the acetate (3). More specifically, provided are a method for producing 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-ol comprising a step of subjecting 2-methyl-3-buten-2-yl 2-methyl-2-propenyl ether (1) to a rearrangement reaction in the presence of a base to obtain 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-ol (2), and a method for producing 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-yl acetate comprising a step of acetylating the produced 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-ol (2) to obtain 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-yl acetate (3).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-ol, comprising a step of subjecting 2-methyl-3-buten-2-yl 2-methyl-2-propenyl ether of formula (1): to a rearrangement reaction in the presence of a base to obtain 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-ol of formula (2): 2. The method for producing 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-ol according to claim 1 , wherein the base is selected from the group consisting of metal alkoxides, organometallic compounds, and metal amides. 3. A method for producing 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-yl acetate, comprising the steps of: subjecting 2-methyl-3-buten-2-yl 2-methyl-2-propenyl ether of formula (1): to a rearrangement reaction in the presence of a base to obtain 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-ol of formula (2): and acetylating the 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-ol to obtain 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-yl acetate of formula (3): wherein Ac represents an acetyl group. 4. The method for producing 2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadien-3-yl acetate according to claim 3 , wherein the base is selected from the group consisting of metal alkoxides, organometallic compounds, and metal amides.
