| Application | (Z)-7-Dodecen-1-yl acetate, a sex pheromone originally identified in the cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni), is synthesized via nucleophilic substitution between a protected bromohydrin-derived Grignard reagent and (Z)-2-hepten-1-yl acetate under copper(I) iodide catalysis. As a broad-spectrum core component of noctuid moth pheromones, it targets 9 major agricultural pests including Mythimna loreyi, black cutworm (Agrotis ipsilon), yellow cutworm (Agrotis fucosa), and fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda). Its applications encompass cross-species adult monitoring and mating disruption through traps: Accurately pinpointing peak adult emergence periods in fields, high-density trap networks reduce male mating rates, thereby blocking larval root/stem boring damage (e.g., by corn borers Ostrinia furnacalis and millet stem borers Chilo infuscatellus) and significantly minimizing chemical pesticide usage. |
