Sugie, Hajime published the artcileIdentification of the sex pheromone of the three-spotted plusia, Acanthoplusia agnata Staudinger (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), Formula: C14H26O2, the publication is Applied Entomology and Zoology (1990), 25(4), 467-73, database is CAplus.
The sex pheromone of the three-spotted plusia, A. agnata, was extracted from abdominal tips of virgin females. The crude extract was purified by Florisil column chromatog., HPLC, and gas chromatog. Male moths were released and captured in a field cage to detect the activity of fractionated samples. The sex pheromone components of A. agnata were estimated to be (Z)-7- and (Z)-9-dodecenyl acetates according to anal. by capillary GC and GC-MS. A plastic, capsule-loaded 1.1 mg of mixture of the 2 compounds in a 10:1 ratio attracted male moths under field conditions. Thus, the sex pheromone of A. agnata was determined to be a 10:1 mixture of (Z)-7- and (Z)-9-dodecenyl acetates. This mixture also attracted male moths of Chrysodeixis eriosoma.
Applied Entomology and Zoology 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 C5H9IO2, Formula: C14H26O2.
