Identifizierung und Synthese von Dimethylalkanen als Sexuallockstoffe weiblicher Miniermotten (Lyonetiidae) / Identification and Synthesis of Dimethylalkanes as Sex Attractants of Female Leaf Miner Moths (Lyonetiidae)

5,9-Dimethylheptadecane and 5,9-dimethylpentadecane represent major components of the sex pheromones of females of the leafminer moths Leucoptera scitella and Perileucoptera coffeella respectively; 5,9-dimethylhexadecane was found in both species as a minor component. These branched chiral hydrocarb...

More Information
Summary:5,9-Dimethylheptadecane and 5,9-dimethylpentadecane represent major components of the sex pheromones of females of the leafminer moths Leucoptera scitella and Perileucoptera coffeella respectively; 5,9-dimethylhexadecane was found in both species as a minor component. These branched chiral hydrocarbons represent a new type of Lepidopteran pheromones, for which simple syntheses are described.
