The oviposition pheromone for the pathogen-vectoring mosquitoes in the genus Culex (Diptera: Culicidae), that is,(5 R, 6 S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide, is efficiently synthesized, in admixture with the inactive (5 S, 6 R) enantiomer (~ 33% w/w), from the fixed oil extracted from the seeds of the summer cypress plant, Kochia scoparia (Chenopodiaceae), cultivated on an industrial scale. Oviposition bioassays using gravid females of Culex ...
