Zusavnnzenfassung

Der Sexuallockstoff der Angoumois Getreidemotte,Sifotvoga cevealella (Olivier), wurde als (Z, E)-7, 11-Hexadecadien-1-ol Acetat identifiziert. Die synthetisierte Verbindung ist chromatographisch, spektroskopisch, und verhaltensmässig identisch mit dem von den Weibchen produzierten Sexuallockstoff.

  3. The following 2 mm I.D. gas chromatograph columns were used during the course of this study a with a carrier gas flow rate of 30 ml/min N2 or He: Column 1–3.3 m, 20% FFAP on Chromosorb W, 100/120 mesh at 210°C; Column 2–3.3 m, 5% Carbowax 20M on Chromosorb W, 100/120 mesh at 180°C; Column 3–6.6 m, 3% SE-30 on Gas Chrom Q, 100/120 mesh at 210°C; Column 4–2.0 m, 15% DEGS on Chromosorb W, 100/120 mesh at 160°C; Column 5–4.0 m, 10% OV-1 on Chromosorb W, 100/120 mesh at 200°C; Column 6–2.0 m, Porapak Q at 140°C.

  6. We thankJ. H. Tumlinson andR. R. Heath, for confirming the location and configuration of the double bonds in the synthetic sex pheromone. The double bonds were individually epoxidized and examined by IR, NMR, and chemical ionization mass spectrometry. This technique will be published shortly.
