Abstract

A new concise and efficient catalytic synthesis of dominicalure I, the male-produced aggregation pheromone of the grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica, is herein reported. The synthetic route was designed starting from easily available propanal through an organocatalytic key step and completed with biocatalytic procedures.
