Abstract	A simple strategy for the formal synthesis of the sex pheromone of gypsy moth (+)-disparlure from L-(+)-tartaric acid is described herein. The key steps include the mono-esterification and regioselective ring-opening of an epoxide using a Grignard reagent. The strategy of conferring asymmetry using 2-butanone enables mono-esterification in high yield and reduces the number of steps. Subsequently, (+)-disparlure is synthesized via the regioselective ring opening of the epoxide.
