4.1.10. Syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> Monomorine:<br />

Monomorine alkaloid is a trail pheromone <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> widespread pharaoh’s ant Monomorium<br />

pharaonis. [8] Syn<strong>the</strong>sis starts by treating amine (125) with 20% titanocene trichloride <strong>for</strong>ming<br />

<strong>the</strong> imidotitanium complex (126). This compound <strong>the</strong>n underwent a [2+2]-cycloaddition with<br />

<strong>the</strong> alkyne to af<strong>for</strong>d intermediate (127). Ring opening and subsequent meta<strong>the</strong>sis. Imine was<br />

reduced with diisobutylaluminum hydride providing amine intermediate followed by<br />

deprotection and intramolecular reductive amination resulting in <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> alkaloid<br />

monomorine.<br />
