Chemical ecology studies with insects have founded that pheromonal communications often includes several components which can be linear, cyclic or heterocyclic compounds, in the case of chiral pheromones, insect often show the ability to characterize between and respond differently to stereoisomer. Among the most notable are those cases in which differential interspecific responses to enantiomer serve as a species isolating mechanism, the relationship between stereoisomers and pheromone activity are highly specific, meaningful assays and evaluation of the responses of insect to chiral pheromones must be carried out using substances of the highest possible chiral purity, we prepare ant pheromones using poly methyl methacrylate as chiral auxiliaries with high enantiomeric purity and the prepared compounds were characterized with spectroscopic data and the diastereomeric amides were separated using high performance liquid chromatography and give high enantiomeric excess, also we study the biological applications of our products and give agood results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
