The absolute configuration of the new bicyclic acetal 2‐ethyl‐1,5‐dimethyl‐6,8‐dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ( 1 ), identified as an aggregation pheromone of males of the beech bark beetle, Taphrorychus bicolor , was determined by unambiguous synthesis and NMR experiments. The syntheses of the racemates of both diastereomers and of optically pure samples are described. The natural product proved to show (1 S ,2 R ,5 R ) configuration.
