The aggregation pheromone produced by the male red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, and confused flour beetles, T. confusum was identified as 4,8-dimethyldecan-1-al by GLC, GC-MS, PMR spectra, and synthesis of the compound.The synthetic pheromone was less attractive compared with the natural pheromone, because the synthetic sample was composed of four optical isomers.
