All of the stereoisomers of 13,17‐dimethyl‐1‐tritriacontene ( 1 ) and 13,17‐dimethyl‐1‐pentatriacontene ( 2 ), the contact sex pheromone components of the female tsetse fly ( Glossina austeni ), were synthesized starting from the enantiomers of the protected syn ‐ and anti ‐2,6‐dimethylheptane‐1,7‐diol ( 3 ), which were prepared from the enantiomers of methyl 3‐hydroxy‐2‐methylpropanoate ( 4 ) and methyl phenyl sulfone ( 5 ).
