Abstract
Several para -substituted derivatives of 4-phenyl-2-butanone (I) have proved to be powerful attractants for the male melon fly ( Dacus cucurbitae ). These compounds, unlike anisylacetone, heretofore the best lure, attract even newly emerged flies. The most potent analog is 4-( p -acetoxyphenyl)-2-butanone (II), which also strongly attracts Dacus ochrosiae males.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
