Sex pheromone of the sugarcane shoot borer, Tetramoera schistaceana Snellen (Lepidoptera:Tortricidae:Olethreutinae). Isolation and identification was written by Kinjo, Mieko;Nagamine, Masaaki;Sugie, Hajime;Tamaki, Yoshio.

The structure of the sex pheromone of the most important sugarcane pest, sugarcane shoot borer, T. schistaceana was determined to establish an integrated method of controlling this pest. The sex pheromone was extracted from the abdominal tips of virgin females. Using laboratory bioassay in a small flight tunnel, 2 active components of the sex pheromone were isolated. The major and minor components were identified as (Z)-9-dodecenyl acetate and (E)-9,11-dodecadienyl acetate, resp. The major component alone had no attractivity but a mixture of the 2 components showed strong activity in sugarcane fields. The sex pheromone of T. schistaceana was determined to be a 100:1 mixture of (Z)-9-dodecenyl acetate and (E)-9,11-dodecadienyl acetate. The synergist increasing the attractivity of the sex pheromone was (E)-7,9-decadienyl acetate. The best formulation for the sex attractant was a mixture of the 2 pheromone components and the synergist at a ratio of 1000:10:1. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as (E)-Dodeca-9,11-dien-1-yl acetate (cas: 50767-78-7COA of Formula: C14H24O2).
(E)-Dodeca-9,11-dien-1-yl acetate (cas: 50767-78-7) belongs to esters. Esters are also usually derived from carboxylic acids. It may also be obtained by reaction of acid anhydride or acid halides with alcohols or by the reaction of salts of carboxylic acids with alkyl halides. Esters are more polar than ethers but less polar than alcohols. They participate in hydrogen bonds as hydrogen-bond acceptors, but cannot act as hydrogen-bond donors, unlike their parent alcohols. This ability to participate in hydrogen bonding confers some water-solubility.COA of Formula: C14H24O2
