Both the (17R)- and (17S)-isomers of volicitin, which is contained in the oral secretion of the beet armyworm and induces corn seedlings to emit a blend of volatile compounds to attract the natural enemy of the herbivore, were synthesized via the semi-hydrogenation of an intermediary diyne and (Z)-selective olefination as the key steps. They were both obtained as crystalline compounds.
