Many lepidopteran pheromones consist of blends of monounsaturated alcs., aldehydes and acetates. These compounds frequently are obtained in only nanogram quantities from pheromone gland extracts, prohibiting use of most standard spectroscopic methods. However, use of GC retention indexes, particularly in combination with mass spectrometry and electroantennograms, can provide substantial information about trace amounts of unknowns. Comparison of Kovats indexes (KIs) of an unknown with those of standards can provide an unambiguous identification, or at least, limit the number of possible structures to a few compounds Furthermore, because KIs are highly reproducible, a full set of standards is not necessary; comparisons can be made using tables of KIs determined in another laboratory We provide here tables of the KIs of almost all possible isomers of monounsaturated alcs., aldehydes, and acetates with 12, 14, or 16 carbon chain lengths, measured on nonpolar (DB-5) and polar (DB-WAX) stationary phases.
