Sex Pheromone of the Introduced Pine Sawfly, <i>Diprion similis,</i> Revisited to Define a Useful Monitoring Lure: Deviating Chiral Composition and Behavioural Responses Compared to Earlier Reports

Extracts of <i>Diprion similis</i> females contained about 15 ng of the sex pheromone precursor 3,7-dimethylpentadecan-2-ol per female. After derivatisation with (<i>S</i>)-2-acetoxypropanoyl chloride, we found that the major stereoisomer in the extract was (2<i>S</i...
