Abstract Some diolefinic analogs of the moth sex attractant compound (Z)-11-hexadecenyl acetate were synthesized and field tested for ability to substitute for the monoolefin in sex pheromone mixtures. Target insects were the great dartEurois occulta, the dark-sided cutworm mothEuxoa messoria, and the clover cutworm mothScotogramma trifolii. In all cases theZ11,E14 analog was very attractive,Z11,15 less so. The analogsE6,Z11,E8,Z11, andZ11,E13 all showed little or no substitutive ability. The syntheses are described, and the significance of the field data is discussed.
