Abstract
The highly potent sex attractant of the female American cockroach, Periplaneta americana (L.), has been isolated in pure form and identified as 2,2-dimethyl-3-isopropylidenecyclopropyl propionate. The hydrogenated form of the attractant has been synthesized.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
