Grant, G. G. published the artcileSex attractants for some eastern species of Rhyacionia, including a new species, and Eucosma gloriola (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), Computed Properties of 16974-11-1, the publication is Canadian Entomologist (1985), 117(12), 1489-96, database is CAplus.
Field-screening tests using dodecenyl and dodecadienyl acetates and alcs. were conducted in pine plantations in northern Ontario to find attractants for Rhyacionia and Eucosma moths. R. adana Was attracted by various ratios of (E)-9-dodecenyl acetate [35148-19-7] and (E)-9-dodecen-1-ol [35237-62-8] (99:1 to 70:30) but no clear preference was observed R. busckana Was attracted to the same ratios of these compounds R. granti Was attracted to (E,E)-8,10-dodecadienyl acetate [53880-51-6]. R. granti And R. busckana are newly recognized sibling species distinguished in this study by differences in their resp. attractants, electroantennogram responses, and phenologies. E. gloriola, Was optimally attracted by 9:1 and 8:2 ratios of (Z)-9-dodecenyl acetate [16974-11-1] and (E)-9-dodecenyl acetate. Flight data for the 4 species in the same plantation revealed overlapping flight periods. R. granti Was the earliest flier, followed closely by R. adana and R. busckana, and somewhat later by E. gloriola.
Canadian Entomologist published new progress about 16974-11-1. 16974-11-1 belongs to esters-buliding-blocks, auxiliary class Aliphatic Chain, name is (Z)-Dodec-9-en-1-yl acetate, and the molecular formula is C14H26O2, Computed Properties of 16974-11-1.
