The biol. active components of six species of the click beetle Agriotes – esters of geraniol, nerol, 8-hydroxygeraniol, (E,E)-farnesol as well as their structural isomers – were synthesized. The relationship between the isomeric composition of the synthesized compounds or their mixtures and the sex behavior of the most harmful species, viz., A. gurgistanus F., A. sputator L., A. lineatus L. (two subspecies), A. obscurus L., A. ustulatus S., A. tauricus Heyd., was established. On this basis optimum synthesis paths were chosen and attractant compositions developed for monitoring click beetles by means of pheromone traps. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as (2E,6E)-3,7-Dimethyl-8-oxoocta-2,6-dien-1-yl acetate (cas: 37905-02-5Category: esters-buliding-blocks).
(2E,6E)-3,7-Dimethyl-8-oxoocta-2,6-dien-1-yl acetate (cas: 37905-02-5) belongs to esters. Esters typically have a pleasant smell; those of low molecular weight are commonly used as fragrances and are found in essential oils and pheromones. Esterification is the general name for a chemical reaction in which two reactants (typically an alcohol and an acid) form an ester as the reaction product. Esters are common in organic chemistry and biological materials.Category: esters-buliding-blocks
