Synthesis of the aggregation pheromone of <i>Tribolium castaneum</i>
<i>Tribolium castaneum</i> Herbst is a destructive stored product pest. The aggregation pheromone of this pest was prepared via a new and effective strategy. The key steps include the ring-opening reaction of chiral 2-methyloxirane, the stereospecific inversion of chiral secondary tosylate, Li<sub>2</sub>CuCl<sub>4</sub>-catalyzed coupling of tosylate with Grignard reagent, and oxidation with RuCl<sub>3</sub>/NaIO<sub>4.</sub>
