Preparation of single-enantiomer 2-methyl-4-heptanol, a pheromone of Metamasius hemipterus, using ( S)-2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propionic acid

To investigate the resolution of secondary alcohols using 2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propionic acid (MαNP acid), 2-methyl-4-heptanol, one of the aggregation pheromones of Metamasius hemipterus, was resolved using ( S)-MαNP acid. As a chiral-resolving agent, MαNP acid is superior to 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-me...
