Abstract
The sex pheromone of the vine bud moth, Theresimima ampellophaga, rele ased at the 3rd-5th abdominal tergites, was identified by coupled GC-E AG, GC-MS, and synthesis as (2S)-butyl (7Z)-tetradecenoate. For the fi rst time, full stereochemistry is unambiguously defined for the sex ph eromone of a member of the Zygaenidae. The synthetic compound caught s ignificant numbers of males in field-trapping experiments.
