Chinta, Satya P.; Goller, Stephan; Lux, Julia; Funke, Sebastian; Uhl, Gabriele; Schulz, Stefan published the artcile< The Sex Pheromone of the Wasp Spider Argiope bruennichi>, Application In Synthesis of 617-55-0, the main research area is trimethyl methylcitrate sex pheromone spider; methylcitrate diastereomer stereoselective enantioselective preparation identification pheromone wasp spider; argiope bruennichi sex pheromone identification methylcitrate diastereomer.
We investigated the pheromone system of the very characteristic wasp spider Argiope bruennichi, which lives on meadows in the Mediterranean but occurs now also in the temperate zone of middle Europe. Headspace sampling of odors emitted by individual female spiders was performed with activated charcoal traps using glass chambers containing the spiders in 3 developmental stages (subadult, virgin, and mated). The sex pheromone of the wasp spider was identified as a mixture of the 2R,3S- and 2S,3S- isomers of tri-Me methylcitrate. This pheromone is able to attract male spiders in the field in a concentration-dependent manner. Another female-specific spider compound, 3-octanoyloxy-γ-butyrolactone, was identified, but its function remains to be established.
