Synthesis and bioactivity of (13Z,15E)‐octadecadienal: A sex pheromone component from Micromelalopha siversi Staudinger (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae)

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Micromelalopha siversi (Staudinger) (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) is a defoliator of poplar trees, Populus spp. (Salicaceae). In our previous study, 13,15-octadecadienal has been conformed as a female-produced candidate sex pheromone component of M. siversi, but the Z/E stereochemistry of the 1,3-diene system has not been identified so far.
