Responses of tea tussock moth, Euproctis pseudoconspersa, to its pheromone, (R)-10,14-dimethylpentadecyl isobutyrate, and to the S-enantiomer of its pheromone

Field trials were conducted with each synthetic enantiomer ( 98% ee) and blends of the two synthetic enantiomers of the female-produced sex pheromone (10,14-dimethylpentadecyl isobutyrate) of the tea tussock moth, Euproctis pseudoconspersa. Male moths were attracted to each enantiomer alone and to v...

Description
Summary:Field trials were conducted with each synthetic enantiomer ( 98% ee) and blends of the two synthetic enantiomers of the female-produced sex pheromone (10,14-dimethylpentadecyl isobutyrate) of the tea tussock moth, Euproctis pseudoconspersa. Male moths were attracted to each enantiomer alone and to various blends of them. Short syntheses of both enantiomers of the pheromone from commercially available (R)- and (S)-citronellyl bromide and a method of checking the enantiomeric purity of the citronellyl bromide enantiomers are described
