(3 S ,4 R ,1′ E )‐3,4‐Bis(1′‐butenyl) tetrahydro‐2‐furanol ( 1 ) was synthesized from 1,3‐butadiene and maleic anhydride by employing the HLADH‐catalyzed enzymatic oxidation of meso ‐diol 2 as the key step, and shown to be identical with the pheromone produced by the dorsal abdominal glands of the male spined citrus bug ( Biprorulus bibax ).
