Abstract:
(2E,4E,8E)-4,6-dimethyl-2,4,8-decatrien-7-one (I) and (2E,4Z,8E)-4,6-dimethyl-2,4,8-decatrien-7-one (II), in an approximate ratio of 75:25, have been identified as the female sex pheromone components of Matsucoccus josephi. The structure ofI and II was determined by mass spectrometric and infrared techniques and microreactions. © 1993.
