(4 R ,7 Z )‐7,15‐Hexadecadien‐4‐olide ( 1 ), the female‐produced sex pheromone of the yellowish elongate chafer ( Heptophylla picea ), was synthesized by lipase‐catalyzed resolution of (±)‐ 10 . The racemate and the opposite ( S )‐enantiomer of the pheromone were also synthesized. Both ( R )‐ 1 and (±)‐ 1 showed the pheromone activity.
