Hyphantria cunea sex pheromones and intermediates for these synthesis and attractant compositions including the pheromones.

摘要

The present invention provides mainly (3Z,6Z)-cis-9,10-epoxy-1,3,6-heneicosatriene (formula 1) and (3Z,6Z)-cis-9,10-epoxy-1,3,6-eicosatriene (formula 2) <CHEM> which are Hyphantria cunea sex pheromones; thus the invention provides attractant components having a high attraction effect for Hyphantria cunea, and intermediates which allow with great ease the selective synthesis of the above pheromones. Futhermore, the present invention provides attractant compositions with a high attraction effect for Hyphantria cunea as well as the use therof to prevent trees, farm and food products.
