What is Asymmetric Synthesis of Both Enantiomers of α-Methyl-α-methoxyphenylacetic Acid from L-(+)-tartaric Acid: Formal Enantioselective Synthesis of Insect Pheromone (−)-Frontalin about?

Both antipodes of a-methyl-a-methoxyarylacetic acid derivatives were prepared from a common chiralpool precursor L L-(+)tartaric acid. The key step involves the addition of Grignard reagents to 1,4-diketones derived from tartaric acid. The utility of this strategy was applied in the formal enantioselective synthesis of pine beetle pheromone (À)-frontalin.
