A series of unsaturated ω-fluoro alcohols have been prepared stereoselectively.These simple compounds are structural analogues of the trail pheromone of termites in the genus Reticulitermes.The toxicity of these ω-fluoro alcohols to R. flavipes is maximal for the C12 alcohols, and the attractiveness of these C12 analogues increases in the order saturated alkanol -12-fluoro alcohols and a -nonfluorinated analogue were prepared to examine the catabolism of the pheromone analogues.
