Female pheromone glands of the leafroller Argyrotaenia sphaleropa were analyzed. Two acetates were identified as (11Z,13)-tetradecadien-1-yl acetate and (11Z)-tetradecen-1-yl acetate by comparison with synthesized references. The (11Z,13)-tetradecadien-1-yl acetate and the aldehyde (11Z,13)-tetradecadienal were synthesized via a Wittig reaction. A field-trapping test showed that a lure consisti...

The title com pound, unreported as an insect pheromone com ponent, effectively attracted certain male Gelechiidae (genera Chionodes, M onochroa, Argolam protes) as a sin­ gle chemical. Trap captures with this chemical decreased on addition o f either (E)-3-dodecenyl acetate, (£)-3-tetradecenyl acetate or (Z )-3-tetradecen-l-ol, the sexual attractants of other, closely related species. Results o...
