Abstract
A Lewis base catalyzed, enantioselective sulfenocyclization of alkenes to afford [6,6]spiroketals has been developed. The method uses a chiral Lewis base catalyst with an electrophilic sulfur source to generate enantioenriched thiiranium ion with alkenes. Upon formation, the thiiranium ion is subsequently captured in a cascade-type reaction, wherein a ketone oxygen serves as the nucleophile to open the thiiranium ion and an alcohol provides the secondary cyclization to form biorelevant spiroketals. A variety of electron-rich and electron-neutral E-substituted styrenes form the desired spiroketals in good yields with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities. Alkyl-substituted and terminal alkenes participate in the cascade reaction, but with a limited scope compared to the styrenyl substrates. This method allows for rapid formation of highly substituted spiroketals in good yield and excellent enantioselectivity.

Electrophysiological Responses of Bactrocera kraussi (Hardy) (Tephritidae) to Rectal Gland Secretions and Headspace Volatiles Emitted by Conspecific Males and Females. Molecules 2021; 26:5024. [PMID: 34443611 PMCID: PMC8399695 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26165024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Pheromones are biologically important in fruit fly mating systems, and also have potential applications as attractants or mating disrupters for pest management. Bactrocera kraussi (Hardy) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a polyphagous pest fruit fly for which the chemical profile of rectal glands is available for males but not for females. There have been no studies of the volatile emissions of either sex or of electrophysiological responses to these compounds. The present study (i) establishes the chemical profiles of rectal gland contents and volatiles emitted by both sexes of B. kraussi by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and (ii) evaluates the detection of the identified compounds by gas chromatography-electroantennogram detection (GC-EAD) and -electropalpogram detection (GC-EPD). Sixteen compounds are identified in the rectal glands of male B. kraussi and 29 compounds are identified in the rectal glands of females. Of these compounds, 5 were detected in the headspace of males and 13 were detected in the headspace of females. GC-EPD assays recorded strong signals in both sexes against (E,E)-2,8-dimethyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane, 2-ethyl-7-mehtyl-1,6-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane isomer 2, (E,Z)/(Z,E)-2,8-dimethyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane, and (Z,Z)-2,8-dimethyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane. Male antennae responded to (E,E)-2,8-dimethyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane, 2-methyl-6-pentyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran, 6-hexyl-2-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran, 6-oxononan-1-ol, ethyl dodecanoate, ethyl tetradecanoate and ethyl (Z)-hexadec-9-enoate, whereas female antennae responded to (E,E)-2,8-dimethyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane and 2-methyl-6-pentyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran only. These compounds are candidates as pheromones mediating sexual interactions in B. kraussi.
