The sex pheromone of the vine bud moth, Theresimima ampellophaga, released at the 3rd-5th abdominal tergites, was identified by coupled GC-EAG, GC-MS, and synthesis as (2S)-butyl (7Z)-tetradecenoate. For the first time, full stereochemistry is unambiguously defined for the sex pheromone of a member of the Zygaenidae. The synthetic compound caught significant numbers of males in field-trapping experiments.
SYNTHESIS OF (Z)-7-TETRADECENYL ACETATE AND SEC.BUTYL (Z)-7-TETRADECENOATE FROM ALEURITIC ACID.

Aleuritic acid (3), after acetylation, was oxidatively decarboxylated and then phase transfer oxidation of the terminal olefin gave 7,8,14-trihydroxytetradecanoic acid.Simple conventional methods led to the synthesis of titled pheromones.

A pheromonal compound produced by the western grapeleaf skeletonizer has been identified as sec-butyl (Z)-7-tetradecenoate. The synthetically-prepared compound demonstrates activity toward both the western grapeleaf skeletonizer, Harrisina brillians Barnes and McDunnough and the grapeleaf skeletonizer, Harrisina americana (Guerin). By attracting adult moths to field traps, this compound offers a useful tool in monitoring and control of this pest.
