New syntheses were achieved to secure matsuone (1), the pheromone of the pine scale Matsucoccus matsumurae, that of M. feytaudi (2), and that of M. josephi (3). Five analogues (4-8) of 1, 2, and 3 were synthesized and their bioactivities studied. The pheromone analogue 7 showed relatively strong pheromonal activity toward M. josephi, while it was inactive as a kairomone toward the predator Elatophilus hebraicus. Similarly, analogue 8 acted as a pheromone for M. feytaudi, but it did not attract any of its local predators. The M. feytaudi pheromone 2 exhibited strong kairomonal activity toward E. hebraicus, but was not active as a pheromone mimic to attract M. josephi.
Pheromonal and kairomonal activities can be separated: Synthesis and bioactivity studies of pine bast scale sex pheromones and their analogues
