The sex pheromone of the citrus fruit borer Ecdytolopha aurantiana has been identified by gas chromatography coupled to an electroantennographic detector (GC-EAD). The electron impact mass spectral (EI-MS) fragmentation of the major EAD-active peak gave identifying features for a monounsaturated acetate. Further analyses by chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CI-MS), vapor-phase infrared spectroscopy (GC-IR), along with chemical derivatization (DMDS reaction), led to full characterization of the major component as (E)-8-dodecenyl acetate (E8-12:Ac). The second constituent was identified as the related alcohol, (E)-8-dodecenol (E8-12: OH). The two compounds were indistinguishable from the authentic synthetic standards in chemical and EAD analyses. Samples of the two compounds were obtained by a facile synthesis utilizing lithium chemistry. Field tests showed that captures in traps baited with a mixture of E8-12: Ac and E8-12: OH at 100:1 and 10:1 ratios were not significantly different from the catches in traps having two virgin females. Dosage tests showed better performance of traps baited with 1 mg than those with 0.1 mg of the pheromone blend, either in 100:1 or 10:1 ratio.

The invention discloses a (Z/E)-8-dodecylene-1-olacetate synthesis method. The method is characterized in that 1-halogenated pentine and magnesium 1-(2-oxotetrahydropyranyl)heptylhalide as initial raw materials undergo a coupling reaction to produce 8-(2-oxotetrahydropyranyl)dodecyne, the 8-(2-oxotetrahydropyranyl)dodecyne is subjected to hydrogenation, one-pot deprotection and esterification so that (Z)-8-dodecylene-1-olacetate and (E)-8-dodecylene-1-olacetate are obtained, wherein a mole ratio of (Z)-8-dodecylene-1-olacetate to (E)-8-dodecylene-1-olacetate is (90%-99.5%): (10%-0.5%). The method utilizes 1-halogenated pentine and magnesium 1-(2-oxotetrahydropyranyl)heptylhalide as initial raw materials, provides a novel reaction route, has a short route, produces less by-product, has simple and routine processes, is free of complex post-reaction treatment processes and improves production efficiency. The method satisfies different insect pheromone trap or lure requirements on an isomer ratio in practical application and is suitable for large-scale industrial production.
