| Abstract: | A field survey of 10,12-hexadecadienyl alcohols, acetates, and aldehydes showed attraction to a wide range of sphingid moths. Data are presented showing the attraction ofSmerinthus jamaicensis, Smerinthus cerisyi, Pachysphinx modesta, Hemaris diffinis, andProserpinus flavofasciata to these compounds. Mass spectral, EAG, and EAD data show evidence for the presence of these dienes in female extracts ofS. cerisyi, Hyles gallii, andSphinx drupiferarum.NRCC No. 25857.In this paper the chemical nomenclature is abbreviated as follows: Z and E indicate thecis andtrans configurations of the double bond, the number followingZ orE indicates the position of that double bond, the last number indicates the carbon chain length, the terminal functional groups are: Ac=acetate; :OH=alcohol; :Aid=aldehyde. |
