Microanalytical methodology relating to the identification of insect sex pheromones and related behavior-control chemicals.

Methods currently in use in the extraction, isolation, and identification of insect sex attractants, which are needed for use in pest control, are described briefly. Because amounts of these materials in insects are generally minute, specialized microanalytical methods and techniques have been developed to aid in the determination of their chemical structures.

Insect juvenile hormones: highly potent synthetic mimics.

The substitution of a 7-alkoxy group for the 6,7-epoxy moiety in aryl terpenoid ethers having high juvenile hormone activity has produced several compounds exceptionally active against Tenebrio molitor. The most potent compound [7-ethoxy-1-(p-ethylphenoxy)-3,7-dimethyl-2-octene, called JH-25] is active at the level of 10 picograms per insect, or about 100 times more active than other promising juvenile hormone mimics so far reported. Compound JH-25 was also active against Tribolium confusum.
