Preparative synthesis of natural 2-acylcyclohexane-1,3-diones and their structural analogs is performed by O-C isomerization of monoenol esters of cyclohexane-1,3-diones and saturated fatty acids under the action of aluminum chloride, sodium acetate, or d

As new kairomone components, 2-palmitoyl- (I) and 2-stearoylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (II) were identified for the parasitic wasp Venturia canescens from feces of the Indian meal moth larva, Plodia interpunctella.One more component, 2-arachidoylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (III), together with the afore mentioned two compounds were newly obtained from feces of the almond moth larva Cadra cautella. I 2-Palmitoylcyclohexane-1,3-dione II 2-Stearoylcyclohexane-1,3-dione III 2-Arachidoylcyclohexane-1,3-dione.Purified kairomone fractions from both species indicated similar activity to synthetic 2-oleoylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (active at 0.1 mg/ml). 2-Palmitoylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (I) was the most active (at 1 mg/ml) among the synthetic homologues with saturated 2-acyl groups.No traces of 2-acylcyclohexane-1,3-dione were found in the rearing medium of the host; therefore, the kairomone was suggested to have been biosynthesized.
