Abstract
(9Z)-Methyl 4-dihydrotrisporate B and (9Z)-methyl trisporate B, pheromones of Zygomycetes fungi, have been synthesized using Stille cross-coupling from previously described cyclohexenone precursors. Conducting the coupling without protection groups allowed for a short and stereospecific synthesis route of the late trisporoids. Stability studies for both the compounds revealed (9Z)-methyl trisporate B to be very unstable against UV irradiation.
