2-Methylheptadecane (I) is the sex pheromone of the family Arctiidae (tiger moth) and was isolated by Roelof and Carde and assigned structure I on the basis of spectral data. Haque et al. isolated a granular white solid (m.p. 80 °C) from the ether extract of dried and powdered plant of Parthenium hysterophorous L. (Compositae) and proposed its structure, 14-methylpentadecan-3-one (II) on the basis of spectroscopic data. We report herein a short and facile synthesis of these compounds.

AbstractThe existence of a chemical female sex pheromone in the Oriental fruit moth has been demonstrated; it both attracts and sexually excites adult males. Males without antennae are neither attracted to, nor sexually stimulated by, the pheromone. Thus, the pheromone appears to be essential for reproduction. Active pheromone can be extracted with benzene from the tips of virgin female abdomens and bioassayed with males. The gland believed to produce the pheromone was located and examined histologically. It is now possible to investigate the chemical nature of the pheromone and its possible use in the control of the Oriental fruit moth.
