Abstract

Abstract The major component of the active fraction from the Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Denis and Schiff.) virgin female extract has been identified as (Z)-13-hexadecen-11-ynyl acetate on the basis of spectroscopic and microchemical reactions data. This is the first report of an acetylenic structure found in the insect pheromone field.
