Response of the sawflyDiprion similis to chiral sex pheromones

  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Males ofDiprion similis respond to both the (+)-2R,3R,7R and (−)-2S,3S,7S enantiomers of its sex pheromone, erythro-3,7-dimethyl pentadecan-2-yl propionate. A mixture of the 2 enantiomers induces a response similar to that of the individual components.
