Preface This volume is a single author effort covering the massive amount of synthetic work associated with Insect Pheromone Chemistry for the period 1979 to 1990. Professor Mori has, once more, demonstrated in a masterful way his key position in this field. I have been editor of this series since its inception in 1973 and, although I am convinced of its value to the discipline of organic synthesis, other responsibilities and interests have slowly intruded, to the state where I must regretfully pass on the onerous task of keeping the initiative alive to another editor. Over the past 18 years, I have had the honor of working with many outstanding authors and scientists. I thank you personally for this collaboration, friendship, and support.

1. INTRODUCTION

Since the appearance of the first edition of this chapter in Volume Four of this series,' a tremendous amount of work has been published in the field of pheromone synthesis. Simple but unique structures that can frequently be seen among pheromone molecules became favorite targets of synthetic chemists to test their methodology and strategy in pursuit of simplicity, selectivity, and efficiency. It is therefore very difficult to write a comprehensive review on pheromone synthesis. However, it is the aim of this chapter to summarize almost all of the notable syntheses in the pheromone area published between April 1979 to February 1990. Thus, this chapter will be of service to those chemists who want a quick view of the existing synthetic methods for each of the individual pheromones. The pheromones described in this chapter are classified according to the structural type, as in the first edition. Because the synthesis of optically active pheromones is now a common practice, enantioselective synthesis has been included in each section instead of being made into an independent section, The relationships between absolute configuration and pheromone activity are briefly summarized at the end of this chapter. There are a number of recent monographs and reviews on pheromones. The following brief listing highlights the focus of literature published within the time frame of this chapter. A monograph on all aspects of pheromone research-including isolation, structure determination, synthesis, and estimation of enantiomeric purity-was published in 1984.2 Synthetic methodologies useful in preparing chiral pheromones were thoroughly r e ~ i e w e d . ~

The present status of pheromone biochemistry was compiled as a monograph.4 Three general reviews on insect pheromones become Ritter reviewed steric factors in pheromonal pest control;8 he also reviewed his own applied research on semio~hemicals.~ A concise review on chiral insect pheromones was published in Czech. I' Schneider reviewed the problem of insect olfaction. I' A comprehensive review became available on structure determination of pheromones by combined microchemical and gas chromatographic methods. The following additional reviews were published: a short reviewI3 an account of the background of pheromone research and its application in insect pest c o n t r o ~ 'I5 ~' a thorough review covering the literature published in 1982 and 198316 a review on isoprenoid pheromones (in Russian)I7 a pedagogical review on chirality in insect communication18 an account of the pheromone metabolism in insects"

2. GENERAL METHODS Some useful methods for the synthesis and analysis of pheromones are listed below.

A. Useful Synthetic Methods

( I ) Alkylation of Acetylides in DMSO In addition to the existing procedures for the alkylation of 1-alkynes,' Chong and Wong proposed a method employing methyllithium (base) and DMSO (solvent).*' As shown in Eq. 1, terminal acetylenes afford disubstituted acetylenes in good yield.

(5) Olefin Inversion

Inversion of the geometry of alkenes is a useful method in pheromone synthes ~ sTreatment . ~ ~ of alkenes with N-chlorosuccinimide in trifluoroacetic acid results in anti-addition of the element of trifluoroacetyl hypochlorite. Heating the vic-chlorohydrin trifluoroacetate with sodium iodide in DMF produced alkenes with inversion of the geometry (Eq. 5).26

(6) Reduction of Diynols to Enynols 2,4-Diyn-l-ols can be reduced to (2E)-en-4-yn- 1-01s by treating the corresponding lithium alcoholates with diisobutylaluminum hydride (Eq. 6).27 1) n-BuU/THF, -8OOC Me(CH2),C~C-C~C-CH,0H

D. 15-Methyltritriacontane4 (C34H70) This is the female-produced sex-stimulant pheromone of the stable fly (Sromoxys culcitruns). A synthesis of ( f ) - 4 is shown in Scheme 6.53

Two syntheses were reported for the enantiomers of 4. Scheme 7 shows the synthesis reported by Sonnet.54The chiral part of the molecule was synthesized via optical resolution. The enantiomeric bromides were then converted to the cuprates and coupled with tridecyl iodide to give the enantiomers of 4. Their bioassay results are not yet published. Naoshima and Mukaidani synthesized the pure enantiomers of 4 in good overall yield, starting from (I?)-( +)-citronellic acid (Scheme 8 v 3

E. 15,19-Dimethyltritriacontane5 (C35H72) This alkane is also the mating-stimulant pheromone isolated from female stable flies (Stornoxys culcitruns).

J. Lardolure [(lR,3R,5R,7R)-1,3,5,7-Tetramethyldecyl Formate] 90 (C15H3002)

Lardolure 90 was isolated by Y . Kuwahara et al. as the aggregation pheromone of the acarid mite (furdoglyphus konoi). This mite is a primary pest for stored products such as dried meat and fresh meal. Y. Kuwahara et al. identified the pheromone as 1,3,5,7-tetramethyldecylformate (90) by synthesizing its diastereomeric mixture, which was found to be bioactive. Their synthetic route is shown in Scheme 247.”’ The synthetic mixture consisting of the eight diastereomers of 90 showed seven peaks when analyzed by capillary GLC, and the peak exhibiting the shortest retention time coincided with that of the natural 90. Y.Kuwahara et al. assigned (R)-configuration to C- 1 of the natural 90 by comparing both the NMR spectral and chiroptical properties of the natural 90 with (S)-1-methylheptyl formate.”’ In order to establish the stereochemistry of 90, Mori and S . Kuwahara carried out three different syntheses of 90 (Scheme 248).329By these routes, 1,3-syn-90, 1,3,5-syn-90, and 5,7-syn-90 were prepared and analyzed by capillary GLC to reveal the fact that all of them exhibited the peak due to the natural 90. The natural pheromone was therefore thought to have a 1R,3R,5R,7R configuration.

Ritter et al. isolated and identified faranal (113) as the trail-following pheromone of the worker Pharaoh's ant (Monomorium p h a r ~ o n i s ) . ~Its " ~detection threshold is ca. 1 pg/cm of a trail. Kobayashi et al. synthesized all of the four possible stereoisomers of (6E,lOZ)-113 (Scheme 302).407The unique feature of their synthesis was in the use of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase for the construction of the chiral center at C-4. Another chiral center at C-3 was generated nonselectively, but the isomers were separable by chromatographic means. Bioassay of the isomers indicated (3S,4R,6E, 102)-113 to be the natural pheromone. Mori and Ueda carried out the synthesis of both (3S,4R,6E, 102)-113and its (3R,4S)-isomer (Scheme 303), and found (3S,4R)-113 to be b i o a c t i ~ e . ~ ~ ~ . ~ " ~ Both the chemical and enantiomeric purities of the products obtained by this synthesis was ca. 90%, and the final purification of 113 was carried out by preparative GLC to secure purer samples. This defect was due to the incomplete resolution of the hydroxy acid A to give lactone enantiomers B of ca. 90% e.e., and also due to the contamination with the (Z)-isomer of C. An asymmetric synthesis of (3R,4R)-lactone B was later reported by Enders (Scheme 304).4'0 Two syntheses of faranal 113 by strategies slightly similar to those of Mori and Ueda, but resulting in the preparation of its racemate, were reported inde-

pendently by British groups. Baker et al. synthesized (f)-113 as shown in Scheme 305.4"*412In their synthesis, the E-double bond at C-6 was constructed stereoselectively by alkylation of the alkenyllithium derived from A with bromide (k)-C, which was prepared from Mori's intermediate ( f ) - B . Knight and Ojhara employed the Wittig reaction for the construction of the C-6 double bond (Scheme 306).4'3.414 Starting from Mori's intermediate ( f ) - B , phosphonium salt (*)-D was prepared via half ester (+)-C. The Wittig reaction between A and the phosphorane derived from D produced a mixture of stereoisomers ( E : Z = 46:54). Separation of (f)-113 from its (6Z)-isomer was finally achieved by preparative GLC. Szantay's synthesis provided geometrically and enantiomerically pure 113 for the first time (Scheme 307).415*416 The key building blocks in this synthesis were (6Z)-homogeranyl bromide (A) and (S)-3-methyl-5-pentanolide(B). The latter was prepared by enzymatic production of a chiral half ester (methyl hydrogen 3-methylglutarate) from a prochiral diester (dimethyl 3-methylglutarate). As shown in Scheme 307, the synthesis was convergent, and proceeded in 1.9% overall yield from geraniol.

hydroxy group to give crystalline C. After recrystallization, C was further converted to iodide D. Alkylation of diethyl ketone with D yielded a diastereomeric mixture E. After deprotection, serricornin was readily separated from its (4R,6S,7S)-isomer, because the latter remained as the acyclic and polar form. Serricornin [(4S,6S,7S)-139] possesses only one axial methyl group in its hemiacetal form, while (4R,6S,7S)-139 must have two axial methyl groups upon cyclization. The latter, therefore, did not cyclize at all. The overall yield of serricornin by this route was 7.6% from A,”‘ Another synthesis of 139 by Sato and his co-workers was based on the diastereoselective addition of ethylmagnesium bromide to an optically active a-alkenyl-/3-trimethylsilyl-/3,y-unsaturatedcarbonyl compound B (Scheme 401).s28~529 Preparation of B was achieved by employing A, which in turn was obtained by the Sharpless epoxidation. Hydromagnesiation of C was followed by carbonation to give lactone D, which finally yielded serricornin acetate. Katsuki and Yamaguchi synthesized 139 by using their own asymmetric aldo1 and alkylation reactions (Scheme 402).497 Hoffmann’s synthesis of (4RS,6S,7S)-139 utilized yeast reduction of methyl tetrahydro-4-oxo-2H-thiopyran-3-carboxylate (A) to give optically active hydro,xy ester B with 98% d.e. and 83% e v e .This was purified by recrystallization of the (S)-a-phenylethylammonium salt of the corresponding acid C and used in the synthesis (Scheme 403).309*530 Baker and Devlin employed Masamune’s asymmetric aldol reaction with the

(1) Syntheses Starting from Chiral Building Blocks

Five syntheses of optically active 151 were achieved starting from optically active natural products. Serebryakov prepared (R)-151from (S)-glycerol acetonide (Scheme 443).585Kang and Shin began with (R)-glyceraldehyde acetonide to prepare (R)-151(Scheme 444)."' L-( +)-Tartaric acid was also converted to (R)-151in two different manners (Schemes 445 and 446).s87.588Gurjar and Patil published a lengthy synthesis of (R)-151from D-glucose (Scheme 447).s89

Finally, starting from (8)-citronellol, both (3S,6R)-190and (3S,6S)-190 were synthesized (Scheme 663), and the former was shown to be more active than the latter. The natural pheromone was identical to (3S,6R)-190 by capillary GLC.

details of the synthesis, together with preparation of (3R,4S)-209, were published in 1983.915As shown in Scheme 723, the synthesis led to the pure enantiomers of 209 starting from pure (R)-citronellic acid (A). The key-step was the iodolactonization of B to give C.”’ In late 1982 Vigneron et al. also reported the synthesis of both the enantiomers of 209 (Scheme 724).903.916 They prepared the enantiomers from glutamic acid, or by optical resolution or asymmetric reduction. Like Mori’s synthesis, they also employed an epoxy ester as the key-intermediate. By comparison of the CD spectrum of the natural 209 with the synthetic enantiomers, the absolute configuration of the natural eldanolide was shown to be 3S,4R. The natural enantiomer was biologically more active than its antipode by EAG testago3 Four other syntheses of optically active 209 started from natural products.

The sex pheromone of the vetch aphid (Megoura viciae) is a synergistic mixture of nepetalactone (214) and nepetalactol (215).945*946 Nepetalactol (215) also works as the sex pheromone of the green bug (Schizaphis gr~rninurn).~~' (4aS,7S,7aR)-( +)-Nepetalactone (214) was first isolated from catnip (catmint, Nepeta cataria) in 1941 as a unique monoterpene highly attractive against cats.948The existing syntheses of nepetalactone and its relatives were reviewed by Thomas.949Therefore, only the recent syntheses, those that appeared after the isolation of 214 as the aphid pheromone, will be reviewed here. Dawson et al. reduced 214 (isolated from N. cataria) with diisobutylaluminum hydride to give 215,945whose stereochemistry was determined by the X-ray diffraction study of the crystalline 3,5-dinitrobenzoate of 215 (Scheme 748).946According to the method developed by Schreiber et Sakurai et

Ono's improved synthesis of (2S*,3R*, 1'R*S*)-224 (Scheme 771) was far more efficient than the biomimetic syntheses.972

Scheme 771

To clarify the absolute configuration of the natural stegobinone, both Hoffmann et al. and Mori et al. worked on the synthesis of 224. The first stage was to determine the absolute configuration of 224 at C-2 and C-3. Both groups adopted the same strategy on the basis of the above-mentioned biomimetic synthesis of 224. It was to acylate 4-methylheptane-3,5-dionewith (2R,3S)- and/ or methyl (2S,3R)-3-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoate, or its equivalent. Hoffmann et al. prepared the required hydroxy ester by the asymmetric synthetic method employing (2)-crotylboronate (Scheme 772).973.974 By comparing the CD spectrum of the synthetic (2R,3S,1 'RS)-224, especially in the 350 nm region, with that of the natural stegobinone, the latter was concluded to possess 2S,3R-absolute configuration. 973. 974 Starting from the enantiomers of tartaric acid, Mori et al. synthesized both (2S,3R, 1 'RS)-224 and (2R,3S, 1'RS)-224 (Scheme

773).97’ Mori’s synthetic (2S,3R, 1’RS)-224 was still less bioactive than the natural pheromone itself. The first synthesis of the natural (2S,3R, 1’R)-stegobinone 224 was achieved by Hoffmann et al. (Scheme 774).974Introduction of S-configuration at C-2 was executed by the yeast reduction of a P-keto ester, and (2S,3R, 1 ‘RS)-224 could be separated by preparative HPLC to produce stegobinone and epistegobinone. Because epistegobinone was crystalline, its structure could be solved by X-ray analysis as 2S,3R, 1 ’S. The absolute configuration of the natural stegobinone was therefore determined as 2S,3R, 1rR.974 The second synthesis of (2S,3R, 1 ’R)-224 was executed by Mori and Ebata with stereocontrol at C-2 and C-1‘ (Scheme 775).”’ Starting from two optically active P-hydroxy esters of microbial origin, two building blocks B and C were prepared and combined. Subsequent intramolecular acylation was followed by cyclization and oxidation to give (2S,3R, 1 ‘R)-224. This synthetic material was more bioactive than (2S,3R, 1 ’RS)-224, although it was less active than the extract of the female drugstore beetle.”’ It was later shown that the addition of (2S,3R, 1 ‘S)-epistegobinone to stegobinone significantly reduces the response of male drugstore beetle.y76Stegobinone is also used as the female sex pheromone of the common furniture beetle (Anobium p u n c t ~ t u m ) . ~ ~ ~

The aggregation response of D. frontalis to entrap when baited with frontalin can be enhanced by (lR,5S,7S)-(+)-232,while (lS,5R,7R)-(-1-232 significantly reduces the beetle response to frontalin. ''I3 Due to the presence of contiguous chiral centers at C-1 and C-7, both 231 and 232 are the favorite targets for chemists engaged in stereoselective synthesis, and, therefore, over 50 syntheses of 231 and 232 have been published since 1979.

( I ) Syntheses of Racemic Brevicomins

The classical strategy to control the relative stereochemistry between C-1 and C-7 is to introduce the diol system by stereospecific epoxidation or hydroxylation of the E- or 2-double bond. Accordingly, the preparation of the geometrically pure olefinic ketone (or its equivalent) has been pursued. Sum and Weiler synthesized both (+)-231and (f)-232(Scheme 807), employing the dianion

This is the pheromone of the smaller European elm bark beetle (Scolyfus multistriatus). Since 1979 several new syntheses of (&)-234have been published. Bartlett and Myerson's synthesis of (+)-234started from rneso-2,4-dimethylglutaric anhydride, and utilized a highly stereoselective iodolactonization reaction (A -+ B) to fix the relative stereochemistry of the third chiral center (Scheme 88 1). Io9' Marino's organocopper chemistry enabled him to prepare (+)-234stereoselectively (Scheme 882). The noteworthy step in the synthesis of (+)-234by Walba and Wand was the diastereoselective ( > 95%) addition of lithiothioformaldine to aldehyde A to create B (Scheme 883).

(lR,4S,SR,7R)-Lineatin (3,3,7-Trimethyl-2,9dioxatricyclo[3.3.1 .04*']nonane) 237 (C l 602) This is the female-produced aggregation pheromone of the striped ambrosia beetle (Trypodendron linearum). Since 1979, six new syntheses of (f)-237 and four syntheses of optically active 237 have been reported. (1) Syntheses of (&)-Lineatin

In most cases, [2 + 2lcycloaddition reactions were employed to construct the cyclobutane ring. Borden et al. reported, without experimental details, four syntheses of (+)-237 (Schemes 895-898). 'I2' Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to olefins or photocycloaddition of vinyl acetate to a,P-unsaturated carbonyl compounds were the key-steps in these four syntheses. Weiler and his co-workers executed the photocycloaddition of allene to unsaturated lactone A to give a mixture of B and C. The mixture was further processed to finally produce a mixture of (f)-237 and its isomer, which were separable by chromatography (Scheme 899).Il2' [2 21Cycloaddition of acetylene to lactone A to yield B was the key-step of White's synthesis of (f)-237 (Scheme 900).

(2) Syntheses of Optically Active Chalcogran Schurig's complexation GC method can be used for the estimation of the enantiomeric excess of the enantiomeric pairs (cf. Scheme 91 1) of chalcogran by using an optically active nickel complex as the stationary phase. I 14' Starting from D-glucose, Redlich synthesized (2R,5RS)-238 and (2S,5RS)-238 as shown in Scheme 920. I '49*I 150 (2R,SRS)-Chalcogran 238 was also synthesized by Seebach and his co-workers, by employing (S)-malic acid (Scheme 921). Enders used acetone dimethylhydrazone and epoxides as starting materials to prepare (2S,5RS)-238 (Scheme 922).Il5* In a recent synthesis by Hogberg et al., all the stereoisomers of 238 were secured for bioassay purpose."53 As shown in Scheme 923, their synthesis was a modification of Smith's route (Scheme 913). Their starting materials were the enantiomers of 4-hexanolide A, which were prepared by chromatographic resolution of (*)-A. (2R,SRS)-Chalcogran could be separated by careful chromatography on silica gel to produce (2R,5R)-238 and (2R,5S)-238. Similarly, (2S,SS)-238 and (2S,5R)-238 were also prepared. Their purities were estimated by capillary GLC analysis on a chiral stationary phase, Ni(I1) bis(3-heptafluorobutyryl-1-(R)-camphorate,in SE-54 (Scheme 923).

(2) Syntheses of the Enantiomers of 246, 247, and 248 Four different syntheses of the enantiomers of 1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane246 have been reported. Redlich and Francke began with D-glucose and prepared both the enantiomers of 246 and (4R,6R)-248 (Scheme 959).'188 Mori's first synthesis (Scheme 960) used two molecules of (S)-malic acid to construct a molecule of 246.'Ia9. Deprotection of A yielded (4S,6S,IOS)-B with two equatorial hydroxy groups. This was oxidized to C, the reduction of which with L-selectride@ produced diaxial diol D. When D was treated with acid, it isomerized to (4R,6R,10R)-B with two equatorial hydroxy groups. Thus, the hydroxy groups were used as the handle to fix the conformation of spiroacetals. 19' In Mori's second synthesis, only one molecule of (S)-malic acid was incorporated into 246 (Scheme 961)."89."91 Conversion of (4S,6S)-248 to (4R,6R)-248

thesis was the diastereoselective intramolecular Michael addition of the hydroxy group of A, which provided spiroacetal B as the kinetically controlled product with the axial sulfinyl group. Treatment of B with acid effected its isomerization to the stabler isomer C. Desulfurization of B and C produced (R)-246 and (S)-246, respectively. Both the enantiomers of 3-hydroxy- I ,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane 247 were synthesized by Mori et al., starting from (S)-malic acid (Scheme 963).'t9'* In this particular case, deprotection of A yielded all of the four possible isomers of the spiroacetals, (3S,6S)-247, B, C, and D.

isomer of 249 is the major component of the cephalic secretion of Andrena ilke el la."^^ In this bee secretion, a small amount of (2S*,6S*,8R*)-249 was also present. Tengo et al. showed (2S,6R,8S)-249 to be the bioactive isomer in attracting patroling male bees in the field.'2oo The (2R,6S,8R)-isomer was behaviorally inactive, and in a racemic mixture it did not inhibit the response of the bees. The diastereomers of 249 other than the (2S,6R,8S)-isomer were almost inactive. The (2S,6R,8S)-isomer was later identified as the major component of the rectal gland secretion of the male cucumber fly (Dacus cucumis) and D. h~lfordiae."'~*~'~~ In the former fly, the (2S*,6S*,8S*)- and (2S*,6S*,8R*)-isomers were also found as the minor components of the secretion. 17', The parasitoid wasp (Megarhyssa nortoni nortoni) also secretes 249.

'33 Kitching et al. was able to characterize all three isomers, (2s*,6R *, 8s* )-, (2s*,6S * ,8R * )-, and (2R* ,6R * ,8R *)-249, by synthesizing them from dienone A via mercury(I1)-catalyzed cyclization reaction (Scheme 967). l Z oTheir ' 400 MHz 'H-NMR spectra were also recorded. The noteworthy feature of this synthesis was the isolation of even the least stable (2R *,6R*,8R*)-isomer, which readily isomerized with acid to the stablest (2S*,6R*,8S*)-249.1176 Giese's synthesis of a mixture of (2S*,6R*,8S*)-249 and (2S* ,6S*,8R*)-249 was based on the radical carboncarbon bond formation (Scheme 968).

purity of C could be determined by the 'H-NMR analysis of its MTPA ester. It should be noted that E could be isomerized to D because the 3,5-dinitrobenzoate of D was crystalline, while that of E was an oil. Thus 3,5-dinitrobenzoate of E was isomerized with acid, and the crystalline 3,5-dinitrobenzoate of D could be separated. Isaksson et al. reported the preparative separation of the enantiomers of (2R*,6S*,8R*)-249 and (2R*,6R*,8S*)-249 by chromatography on microcrystalline triacetylcellulose. 1205 With this technique, they could prepare all four energetically stable isomers of 249.

E. (15R)-2-{[15-(~-~-Glucopyranosyl)oxy]-8hydroxyhexadecanoyl]amino}ethanesulfonic Acid 260 (C24H4701

INS)

This is the oviposition-deterring pheromone secreted by females of the European cherry fruit fly (Rhugoletis cerusi), each of which lays one single egg into half-ripe cherries. ’*” Ernst and Wagner synthesized the four stereoisomers: (8R,15R)-, (8S, 15R)-,( 8 R , I S ) - , and (8S, 15S)-260.1226 By comparing the ‘HNMR spectra of the synthetic four isomers with that of the natural 260, the configuration at C-15 was determined as R . Scheme 986 illustrates the synthesis of (8R,15R)-260.1226 Other isomers were prepared in the same manner.

23. CONCLUSION The synthesis of 260 pheromones (in Ref. 1, 96 pheromones were discussed) have been reviewed in this book. The survey of literature encompasses the period April 1979 to the end of February 1990. If I have overlooked any works, I apologize to any chemists in this area whose research and work have been inadvertently omitted. The most notable advance achieved in this decade has been a clearer understanding of the significance of chirality in pheromone perception. Scheme 987 summarizes the results obtained thus far. As can be seen from the Scheme, stereochemistry-pheromone activity relationships are quite complicated. Like other bioactive and chiral natural products, many of the chiral pheromones belong to category A of Scheme 987. In this group of pheromones, only one enantiomer is bioactive and no inhibitory action can be observed with the inactive antipode. However, other unusual cases exist, as shown in categories B through H. In group B, only one enantiomer is bioactive and the inactive antipode inhibits the action of the correct enantiomer. Especially in the case of the Japanese beetle pheromone as studied by Tumlinson, its racemate lacks biological activity due to the strong inhibition caused by the wrong enantiomer. In the case of the pheromones in group C, insects do not distinguish the stereoisomers. Thus, every stereoisomer of the German cockroach pheromone evokes the response of the male. Ipsdienol is the pheromone belonging to group D. Different species of Ips bark beetles use different enantiomcrs, and the chirality of the pheromone is quite important in establishing and maintaining a particular Zps species. Sulcatol is the pheromone in Group E, which requires both enantiomers for pheromone activity, as exemplified by the ambrosia beetle (Gnathotrichus sulcatus).

Groups F, G , and H are also interesting, especially in the case of the olive fruit fly pheromone, whose R-isomer is active on males, while the other is active on females. Only the rneso-isomer of the tsetse fly pheromone was bioactive. As summarized above, the relationships between stereochemistry and pheromone activity are complicated. The precise meaning of this diversity may be clarified only after more extensive investigation of the nature of pheromone perception by insects.
