Article Synopsis
- Researchers synthesized the pheromone component (E,E)-8,10-dodecadienyl acetate and 12 related compounds to create more effective lures for the soybean pod borer pest in China.
- Various compounds were tested individually and in combinations to see which ones attracted more male pests, with several showing different levels of effectiveness.
- Certain binary mixtures significantly increased trap catches compared to the standard lure, suggesting these new pheromone blends could be useful for monitoring and controlling L. glycinivorella populations.
Novel 5, 6-Dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines as Scaffolds for Synthesis of Lamellarin Analogues.

November 2011
AS CORE SKELETONS OF LAMELLARINS: 5,6-Dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines are one of the important alkaloids that exhibit significant biological activities, in this study, an efficient synthetic route was described for two novel compounds, 5,6-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines I and II. Compound I was synthesized from isovanillin with 28.3% overall yield by a six-step reaction while II from 2-(3, 4-dimethoxyphenyl) ethanamine was with 61.

One method is by using the Wittig-Horner reaction and another is by the Grignard reaction. By conducting contrast experiments, we got the optimal reaction parameters for high yields.
