We describe two four-step sequences for conversion of the inexpensive reagent ethyl sorbate to either O-allyl-N,N-dimethyl-D-pyrrolosamine or O-allyl-L-oleandrose, protected forms of the 2,6-dideoxy sugar residues found in the complex bacterial metabolite lomaiviticin A. We also report a gram-scale synthesis of

Previous studies suggest that olfactory cues from damaged and fermented fruits play important roles in resource recognition of polyphagous spotted wing Drosophila flies (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae). They are attracted to fermented sweet materials, such as decomposing fruits
