Sequential Reactions With Grubbs Catalyst And Ad-Mix-Alpha/Beta Using Pdms Thimbles, Martin T. Mwangi, Michael D. Schulz, Ned B. Bowden

Incompatible Grubbs catalyst and an osmium dihydroxylation catalyst were site-isolated from each other using polydimethylsiloxane thimbles. The Grubbs catalyst was added to the interior of the thimbles, and AD-mix-alpha/beta was added to the exterior. Organic substrates readily fluxed through the walls of the thimbles and reacted with each catalyst. A series of cascade reactions were developed including those with intermediates possessing low boiling points or that were foul smelling.

δ-octalactone, produced by several Bovidae, has been suggested as a potential repellant of tsetse fly attack. Racemic δ-octalactone was synthesized via an abbreviated route. The product was assayed against 3-day old starved teneral female tsetse flies, Glossina morsitans morsitans Wiedemann (Diptera: Glossinidae), in a choice wind tunnel and found to be a potent tsetse repellent at doses ≥0.05 mg in 200 μl of paraffin oil (0.05 >p >0.01).
