THE PREPARATION, INTERMEDIATES FOR THE PREPARATION AND THE USE OF A MIXTURE OF DODECADIENOL ISOMERS
WE, BASF AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, a German joint stock company under the laws of FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY of 6700 Ludwigshafen, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY

The preparation, intermediates for the preparation and the use of a mixture of dodecadienol isomers
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a mixture of 8E,lOE-dodecadienol (la), 5 8E,lOZ-dodecadienol (lb), 8Z,lOE-dodecadienol (Ic) and
8Z,lOZ-dodecadienol (Id),

where Hal is halogen, subsequently reacting (III) with a vinyl ether of the formula (IV),

where R is C^-Cg-alkyl, C^-Cg-cycloalkyl or C^-Cg-haloalkyl, ir a conventional manner in the presence of an acid to give an acetal of the formula (V)

The present invention also relates to novel intermediates for this process and to methods for controlling the codling moth Cvdia oonvonella by using this mixture to interfere with mating.
In particular, the invention provides a method for controlling the codling moth Cvdia pomonella by interfering with mating, which comprises applying a composition containing a mixture of 8E,lOE-do-decadienol (la), 8E,10Z--.iodecadienol (lb), 8Z, 10E-do-decadienol (Ic) and 8Z,10Z-,iodecadienol (Id) in an amount sufficient to interfere with the finding of the females by the males of the species in a situation from which it is desired the codling moth be deterred.
The codling moth is an important pest of apple crops.
To date the codling moth has been controlled non-specifically by conventional methods, ie. by application of insecticides. It has been possible to apply a specific method after identification of the sex attractant of the
11 ;
codling moth (Roeloffs et al. DE-A 21 23 434). It is known that in butterflies females which are ready to mate produce sex attractants (pheromones) and secrete them into the environment. Male butterflies of the same species are then able to find the females with the aid of this odoriferous substance.
(followed b
0.1. 0050/42779
Finally, the pest can be controlled by saturating the air with sex attractants or substances with a similar action, which interferes with the finding of the females by the male butterflies. This prevents the insects 5 mating.
In the latter case a large amount of the attractant is distributed in the air throughout the crop to be protected so that the males are able to detect the scent everywhere, which interferes with their normal direction 10 finding.
The third method (interference with mating) in particular is an extremely selective and effective way of controlling an unwanted species while leaving non-target organisms, especially all beneficial species, unaffected. 15 In addition, this method requires only relatively small amounts of the agents, often corresponding only to fractions of the conventional doses of classical insecti-cidal agents (cf. Birch ed., Pheromones, North Holland Publ. Co., 1974).
2 0 The disadvantage of methods 1 and 2 is that the attractant of synthetic origin must be exactly identical in structure and purity to its natural counterpart (Minks and Voermann, Entomologia exp. and appl. 16 (1973) 341-49 and Wegler, Chemie der Pflanzenschutz- und Schadlings-25 bekampfungsmittel (1981) vol. 6, page 167). Technical mixtures or the like have regularly failed in trapping tests.
It was to be assumed on the basis of the experience gained with methods 1 and 2 that method 3 would also 30 be effective only with highly pure pheromone of the codling moth. This is why to date only pure 8E,10E-do-decadienol has been employed for the mating interference method (G.H.L. Rothschild, Insect. Suppr. Controlled Release Pheromonic Syst. Vol. 2, 117-34). 35 We have now found that, surprisingly, a mixture of the 4 stereoisomers 8E,lOE-dodecadienol (1 a), 8E,lOZ-dodecadienol (lb), 8Z,lOE-dodecadienol (Ic) and
1 5 4
- 4 - O.Z. 0050/42779
8Z,lOZ-dodecadienol (Id) can likewise be employed successfully for interfering with mating.
The mixture is obtained particularly advantageously by converting 1,8-octanediol (II) in a conven-5 tional manner in a solvent in the presence of a halogen-
ating agent into a halo derivative of the formula (III), subsequently reacting (III) with a vinyl ether of the formula (IV) in the presence of an acid to give the acetal of the formula (V), converting (V) in the presence 10 of magnesium and crotonaldehyde into an alkenol of the formula (VI) and simultaneously eliminating the protective group and the hydroxyl group from (VI) in the presence of acid.

The individual stages in this preparation process 2 5 are carried out as follows:
1st stage
(Rossi, Synthesis (1981) 359; Chapman et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 100 (1979) 4878)
This reaction of (II) with a halogenating agent 30 is normally carried out at from 20 to 180°C, preferably
80 to 120&C.
Suitable solvents are aliphatic hydrocarbons such as pentane, hexane, cyclohexane and petroleum ether, aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, o-, m- and 35 p-xylene, halohydrocarbons such as methylene chloride,
chloroform and chlorobenzene, ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tert-butyl methyl ether,
O.Z. 0050/42779
dioxane, anisole and tetrahydrofuran. Nitriles such as acetonitrile and propionitrile, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone and tert-butyl methyl ketone, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, 5 isopropanol, n-butanol and tert-butanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethylformamide, particularly preferably toluene, o-, m- and p-xylene and chlorobenzene.
It is also possible to use mixtures of the said solvents.
Suitable halogenating agents are phosphorus tribromide, phosphorus trichloride and thionyl chloride, preferably hydrogen bromide and hydrogen iodide, in particular hydrogen chloride.
The halogenating agents are generally employed in 15 equimolar amounts but they can also be used in excess or,
where appropriate, as solvent.
The precursors are generally reacted together in equimolar amounts. When hydrogen halides are used it may be advantageous for the yield to employ the acids in more 20 or less than the stoichiometric ratio to octanediols.
1,8-octanediol, which is required to prepare the derivatives (III), is disclosed in the literature (Bouveault et al., Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. [3] 3_1, 1204).
The reaction mixtures are worked up in a conven-25 tional manner, eg. by mixing with water, separating the phases and, if necessary, purifying the crudQ products by chromatography. The intermediates and final products are in some cases colorless or pale brown viscous oils which can be purified or freed of volatiles under reduced 30 pressure and at moderately elevated temperature. Where the intermediates and final products are obtained as solids, they can also be purified by recrystallization or digestion.
2nd stage
(Chl&dek et al., Chem. Ind. (1964) 171)
This reaction of (III) with (IV) is normally carried out at from -20 to 60°C, preferably 0 to 20°C.

It is also possible to use mixtures of the said solvents. The reaction can also be carried out without solvent.
The acids and acidic catalysts used are inorganic acids such as hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, 2 0 hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid,
Lewis acids such as boron trifluoride, aluminum trichloride, iron(III) chloride, tin(IV) chloride, titanium-(IV) chloride and zinc(II) chloride, and organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, 25 benzenesulfonic acid, o-, m- and p-toluene-sulfonic acid,
oxalic acid, citric acid and trifluoroacetic acid.
The acids are generally employed in catalytic amounts but they can also be used in equimolar amounts, in excess or, where appropriate, as solvent. 30 The precursors are generally reacted together in equimolar amounts. It may be advantageous for the yield to employ the vinyl ether in more or less than the stoichiometric ratio to chlorooctanol.
The vinyl ethers of the formula (IV) required for 35 preparing the derivatives (V) are disclosed in the literature (Reppe, Liebigs Ann. Chem. 601 (1956) 84) or they can be prepared by the methods described therein.

The reaction mixtures are worked up in a conventional manner, eg. by mixing with water, separating the phases and, if necessary, purifying the crude products by chromatography. The intermediates and final products are 5 in some cases colorless or pale brown viscous oils which can be purified or freed of volatiles under reduced pressure and at moderately elevated temperature. Where the intermediates and final products are obtained as solids, they can also be purified by recrystallization or 10 digestion.
3rd Stage
(Henze et al., J. Org. Chem. 7 (1942) 326)
This reaction of (V) with crotonaldehyde in the presence of magnesium is normally carried out at from -20 15 to 80°C, preferably 0 to 40°C.
Suitable solvents are aliphatic hydrocarbons such as pentane, hexane, cyclohexane and petroleum ether, aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, o-, m- and p-xylene, halohydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, 20 chloroform and chlorobenzene, ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tert-butyl methyl ether, dioxane, anisole and tetrahydrofuran, nitriles such as acetonitrile and propionitrile, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone and tert-butyl methyl 2 5 ketone, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol,
isopropanol, n-butanol and tert-butanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethylformamide, particularly preferably ethers such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran.
It is also possible to use mixtures of the said 30 solvents.
Magnesium is generally employed in the form of turnings in equimolar amounts but it can also be used in an excess of 0.1-100 mol%, preferably 0.1-50 mol%, in particular 0.1-20 mol%.
The precursors (V and crotonaldehyde) are generally reacted together in equimolar amounts. It may be advantageous for the yield to employ crotonaldehyde in

- 9 - O.Z. 0050/42779
an excess of 0.1-50 mol%, preferably 0.1 - 20 mol%, in particular 0.1-10 mol%, based on (V).
The reaction mixtures are worked up in a conventional manner, eg. by mixing with water, separating the 5 phases and, if necessary, purifying the crude products by chromatography. The intermediates and final products are in some cases colorless or pale brown viscous oils which can be purified or freed of volatiles under reduced pressure and at moderately elevated temperature. Where 10 the intermediates and final products are obtained as solids, they can also be purified by recrystallization or digestion.
4th Stage
{Chavamie et al., Bull. Soc. Chim. Belg. 22 (1908) 410) 15 The elimination of the protective group and simultaneously of the hydroxyl group is normally carried out at from -20 to 150°C, preferably 40 to 80°C.
Suitable solvents are aliphatic hydrocarbons such as pentane, hexane, cyclohexane and petroleum ether, 20 aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, o-, m- and p-xylene, and high-boiling compounds such as di-Cj-Ca-alkyl phthalates such as dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, dipropyl phthalate, di-l-methylethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, dipentyl phthalate, dihexyl 25 phthalate, dioctyl phthalate and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, particularly preferably dibutyl phthalate, dipentyl phthalate, dihexyl phthalate and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate.
It is also possible to use mixtures of the said 30 solvents.
The acids and acidic catalysts used are inorganic acids such as hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid, Lewis acids such as boron trifluoride, aluminum tri-35 chloride, iron(III) chloride, tin(IV) chloride, titanium-(IV) chloride and zinc(II) chloride, and organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, oxalic
O.Z. 0050/42779
acid, citric acid and trifluoroacetic acid.
The acids are generally employed in catalytic amounts but they can also be used in equimolar amounts, in excess or, where appropriate, as solvent.
It has proven particularly advantageous for the synthesis of the dodecadienols (la) to (Id) from VI to react VI with acetic anhydride and sulfuric acid [Chavamie, van Roelen, Bull. Soc. Chim. Belg. 22 (1908) 410] in cyclic and acyclic ethers such as diethyl ether, 10 tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene or xylene, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as pentane, hexane, heptane or cyclohexane, or halohydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, dichloroethane or trichloroethane at from -20 to 100°C. 15 This entails in one reaction step both water and the protective group being eliminated.
The mixture obtained in this way can be subjected to an isomerization in order to increase the content of 8E,lOE-dodecadienol.
2 0 This entails heating with catalytic amounts of
4-chlorothiophenol, 3-chlorothiophenol, thiophenol or mercaptoacetic acid and subsequently extracting the catalyst by washing with sodium hydroxide solution.
The isomerization can also be carried out by UV 2 5 radiation in the presence of iodine or diphenyl disulfide.
The reaction mixtures are worked up in a conventional manner, eg. by mixing with water, separating the phases and, if necessary, purifying the crude products by 30 chromatography. The intermediates and final products are in some cases colorless or pale brown viscous oils which can be purified or freed of volatiles under reduced pressure and at moderately elevated temperature. Where the intermediates and final products are obtained as 35 solids, they can also be purified by recrystallization or digestion.
The mixture of compounds (la), (lb), (Ic) and
1 . ,
- 11 - O.Z. 0050/42y?9
(Id) obtained by this process is suitable for controlling the codling moth Cydia pomonella by interfering with mating.
The mixture can be applied together with conven-5 tional aids, eg. appropriately prepared plastic strips,
twine, attractant-filled ampoules or the like
—-—— and can also contain impurities derived from the preparation.
The mixture can be formulated in both liquid and 10 solid preparations. Suitable solvents are high-boiling,
aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic compounds. Besides hydrocarbons, particularly suitable are esters, ethers or ketones. Typical representatives of these classes are, for example, xylene, methylnaphthalenes, liguid 15 paraffins, cyclohexanone, ethylglycol acetate, isophorone and dibutyl phthalate. These solvents can be used alone or mixed with other components. The saturated C.2-alcohols and C.-esters and their homologs corresponding to the compounds la to Id are particularly suitable formulation
2 0 auxiliaries and can be regarded as synergists because they enhance the action of la, lb, Ic and Id.
It is furthermore possible to prepare solutions in vegetable, animal or synthetic oils or fats and other evaporation-inhibiting solvents with a low vapor pressure 2 5 such as dioctyl phthalate for the purpose of prolonging the action.
It is furthermore possible for the mixture to be bound in or on natural or synthetic solid carriers such as rubber, cork, cellulose, plastics, ground carbon, 30 sawdust, silicates, crushed pumice, terracotta or similar solid carriers, or to be employed in special capsule formulations or plastic containers in order in this way to achieve uniform release to the air over lengthy periods. The agent can also be evaporated from suitable 35 containers, eg. capillaries, rubber tubes or other vessels, through narrow orifices or by diffusion through the container wall and from multilayer plastic plates,

- 12 - O.Z. 0050/42779
called flakes, which results in particularly uniform concentrations of the scent over lengthy periods.
The content of mixture in these compositions can vary within wide limits. In general the agent: additive 5 ratio can be in the range from 10:1 to 1:103, for example. In capsule formulations or other suitable containers, the agent can, for example, be used in pure, undiluted form and its content can be very high and up to 90% of the weight of the complete formulation. However, in general 10 very low agent concentrations in the compositions suffice in order to exert the desired effect on male codling moths. A preferred agent: additive ratio is from 1:3 to 1:102, in particular from 1:10 to 1:100.
PREPARATION EXAMPLES 15 EXAMPLE 1
A mixture of 40 g of 8-chlorooctanol, 0.1 g of acetic acid and 60 g of tert-butyl methyl ether and a mixture of 17 g of ethyl vinyl ether and 83 g of tert-butyl methyl ether were added separately but simul-20 taneously to 250 ml of tert-butyl methyl ether. After the addition was complete, the mixture was stirred at 20°C for 12 h. To work up the mixture it was washed three times with 300 ml of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution each time, and the organic phase was dried with 25 sodium sulfate and concentrated. The chloro acetal was obtained in a yield of 235 g (85% pure) = 84%.
EXAMPLE 2
77 g of crotonaldehyde are slowly added to 260 g of 8-chlorooctyl 1-ethoxyethyl ether and 35 g of mag-3 0 nesium in 2 1 of THF at -10°C. The mixture is left to stir at -10°C for 1 h, hydrolyzed with 2 1 of saturated ammonium chloride solution, and the organic phase is separated off. The aqueous phase is extracted several times with toluene, and the extracts are combined with 35 the major amount and dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product is purified by molecular distillation at 190°C under 1 mbar.

8E,lOE-dodecadienol 45%
Total of other isomers 40%
The agent was dispensed into polyethylene ampoules. One ampoule contains about 500 mg of the product according to the invention, and the second contains about 400 mg of HZ-tetradecenyl acetate, the 15 pheromone of the tortrix moth Adoxophyes orana. The ampoules are distributed uniformly in the orchards before the pests start to fly (about 500 ampoules/ha) (Table 1).
