Abstract: | The female sex pheromones of the red bollworm moth, Diparopsis castanea, were isolated by solvent extraction of the terminal abdominal segments of the female moth followed by purification of the solvent extract by liquid-solid and gas chromatography. The pheromones were identified by gas chromatographic analysis, micro-ozonolysis, infra-red and mass spectroscopy, and comparison with synthetic material. The major pheromone was 9,11-dodecadien-1-yl acetate (80 : 20 trans : cis). Minor components identified were trans 9-dodecen-1-yl acetate, 11-dodecen-1-yl acetate, and dodecan-1-yl acetate. |
