H 7 have proved to be long-chain, unsaturated acetates14 so we also prepared the acetate of 1 and submitted it for screening against several species of pest insects. The acetate attracted female melon flies in an olfactometer and was thus the first synthetic compound to show such activity. We then prepared the acetate of trans-6-nonen-1-01 (2)) an intermediate in our preparation of 1, and found it to be much more attractive to female melon flies in ...
