Notes: Herein, we report a short and highly efficient synthesis of sex pheromone in both racemic and enantiopure forms, which features an iron-mediated HAT radical cyclization as the key step. This strategy provides rapid access to the cyclopentane core, with two quaternary carbon centers, from which the pheromone was easily prepared. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.joc.5c00175
