✦ Synopsis
Synthesis of tritiated sex pheromones of the processionary moth Thmmetopoea pityocampa and the Egyptian armyworm Spodopteru littoralis has been accomplished by a simple route involving tritiated sodium borohydride reduction of the corresponding aldehyde followed by acetylation of the resulting radiolabelled alcohol. The process occurs with high chemical and radiochemical yields and the compounds have been used in pheromone catabolism stuhes.
