Detailed information:
A group of organic compounds, produced by insects, that function as communication means and sex attractants. Synthetic pheromones have been used experimentally to control insect pests by disrupting their mating behavior, e.g., 4-methyl-3-heptanone. Pheronomes have also been synthesized by use of organoborane reactions.See Phoromone.
