Abstract

Analogues of the housefly pheromone (Z)-9-tricosene have been synthesized and tested. All of the analogues have the same chain length as (Z)-9-tricosene, but they have a functional group substituted for one or more carbons. The field results suggest that steric effects correlate with pheromone activity in the analogues.
