, (2008/06/13)
Novel multi-component insect lures comprising (3Z,6Z)-dodecadien-12-olide and 13-methyl-(5Z,8Z)-tetradecadien-13-olide together with a fungal volatile selected from the group consisting of 1-octen-3-ol and 3-methylbutanol, wherein the amount of 11-methyl-(3Z,6Z)-dodecadien-11-olide in the composition is substantially zero, and a novel method for production of these pheromones, whereby the cost of active components may be reduced to economically advantageous levels. The lures are particularly effective in attracting saw-toothed grain beetles of group Coleoptera, Cucujidae, particularly species Oryzaephilus surinamensis.

Six of the seven macrolide components of the pheromone systems of grain beetles of the genera Oryzaephilus and Cryptolestes are synthesised by new routes of greatly improved efficiency. Iterative methodology based on the Wittig olefination is employed for
