Abstract
5,9-Dimethylheptadecane and 5,9-dimethylpentadecane represent major components of the sex pheromones of females of the leafminer moths Leucoptera scitella and Perileucoptera coffeella respectively; 5,9-dimethylhexadecane was found in both species as a minor component. These branched chiral hydrocarbons represent a new type of Lepidopteran pheromones, for which simple syntheses are described.Keywords
