The stereoselective conjugate addition of some organocopper (I) reagents to,/3-acetylenic esters to givesubstituted,/3-unsaturated esters is discussed, as applied to the synthesis of trisubstituted double bonds, and in particular the prepara-tion of the juvenile hormone analog methyl (2. E, 6£)-3, 7-diethyl-czT-10, l 1-epoxy-11-methyl-2, 6-tridecadienoate (JH 0, Id) and the 2E, 6E, trans-\0 isomer 18c. The effects of the reaction conditions and of the type of organocopper (I) reagent used on the stereochemistry of the product are outlined. Both alkyl groups of a lithium di-n-alkylcuprate can be transferred to the acetylenic ester. Polymeric copper reagents prepared from alkyllithiums give the best overall results. The lithium methyl-(fert-butyl) cuprate complex selectively transfers the tert-butyl group to methyl 2-butynoate. Some examples are also given for thestereoselective conjugate additionof organocopper (I) reagents to,/3-acetylenic amides. The biological activities of Id and 18c on three insect species are given and compared with those found for the known natural juvenile hormones.Considerable attention has been focusedin the last few years on the stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted double bonds. 4 More than anything else, the structure elucidation of the C-18 cecropia juvenile hormone lc (JH I) by Roller, et al., 5 prompted the development of many of these stereoselective olefin syntheses. 6 The observation, that the 2Z and 6Z isomers of lc and related compounds showed much lower biological activities than the 2E, 6E isomers, demonstrated that the geometry of the natural juvenile hor-mone was important for high biological activity. 7 Thus, investigations began in our own and in other laboratories to develop stereoselective methods for the synthesis of lc and related analogs.
