Abstract

The electrochemical synthesis of muscalure, (Z)‐9‐tricosene(1), has been carried out by coelectrolysis of erucic acid (2) and propionic acid (3) in an undivided cell in methanol. To optimize the yield of the cross coupled product 1, the reaction has been studied in detail by varing different parameters, viz., electrode material, current density, molar ratio of 2 to 3, degree of partial neutralization and quantity of water in methanol.

A female-produced sex pheromone for the pecan nut casebearer, Acrobasis nuxvorella Neunzig, has been identified from pheromone gland extracts of calling female moths. The compound (9E,11Z)-hexadecadienal [(9E,11Z)-16:Ald] was identified by coupled GC-EAD and retention time matches with a synthetic s
