Abstract
A single component in extracts of virgin female Milionia basalis pryeri moths elicited responses from male moth antennae. This compound (ca. 7 ng/female) was identified as (Z,Z)-(3S,4R)-3,4-epoxynonadeca-6,9-diene by GC-MS and NMR analyses, microchemical reactions, and comparative chiral HPLC. In a field test, synthetic (Z,Z)-(3S,4R)-3,4-epoxynonadeca-6,9-diene attracted male moths. The opposite enantiomer, the racemic mixture, and virgin female moths held in small cages attracted no more moths than the solvent controls.Entities:
