Sex Pheromones Produced by Male Boll Weevil: Isolation, Identification, and Synthesis

Abstract: The response of female boll weevils to males, Anthonomus grandis Boheman, in laboratory bioassays can be reproduced by exposure to a mixture of compounds I, II, and either III or IV, all isolated from male weevils and their fecal material. The same response was elicited by mixtures of tile synthesized coimpounds. Compound I is (+)-cis-2-isopropenyl-l-methylcyclobtutaneethanol; II, cis-3,3-dimethiyl->(1,beta)cyclohexaneethanol; III, cis-3,3-dimethlyl->(1,alpha)-cyclohexaneacetaldehyde; and IV, trans-3,3-dimethy… Show more

“…A mistura desses quatro componentes foi ativa em bioensaios de laboratório. 6 Formulações sintéticas do feromônio atraíram tanto machos como fêmeas no campo. 16 A configuração absoluta do grandisol foi estabelecida como sendo (1R, 2S) (2c).…”

“…Um trabalho extensivo tem sido feito na identificação de feromônios e seu uso dentro da família Curculionidae, 4 exemplificado pelas décadas de pesquisa conduzidas com o bicudo do algodoeiro, Anthonomus grandis. 5 Seguindo a identificação de quatro componentes do feromônio de agregação de A. grandis, 6 feromônios de várias espécies de curculionídeos têm sido identificados.…”

“…Previous studies have identified semiochemical-based attractants, i.e., aggregation pheromones, host-plant volatiles, and their combinations, which in some cases have been used successfully to monitor Anthonomus species (e.g., Tumlinson et al, 1969;Dickens, 1989;Eller et al, 1994;Innocenzi et al, 2001;Tinzaara et al, 2007). For example, Dickens (1989) showed that the green leaf alcohols (E)-2-hexen-1-ol, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, and 1-hexanol in combination with the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Boheman, aggregation pheromone enhances trap captures of boll weevils compared to the pheromone alone.…”

“…The diene 9d was prepared in 68% yield from the reaction of methallyl alcohol and acrolein dimethyl acetal following the above procedure. 1 To a magnetically stirred solution of the lactol 11a (250 mg, 1.76 mmol) in acetone (2 mL) cooled to 0 o C, was added drop wise Jones reagent (0.5 mL, 0.7 M). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 1h, diluted with water (5 mL) and extracted with ether (3x5 mL).…”
