Abstract:

The sex attractant for Chinese locust moth (Cydia trasias Meyrick), (E, E)-8, 10-dodecadien-1-ol, was synthesized via Grignard coupling reaction from two readily available starting materials containing C6 units(scheme 1). Field trials were undertaken in Chinese locust grove in Beijing during 1993-1994. The experiments showed that (E, E)-8.10-dodecadien-1-ol gave. strong attractive activity to the male Chinese locust moths. The attractant-baited trap can be used to detect both the presence and the density of the moth in the field, which is very useful for monitoring population of the pest insect.
