Article Synopsis
- The synthesis of tomato pinworm sex pheromones (E)- and (Z)-tridec-4-en-1-yl acetates was achieved using a C10+C3 strategy, with the iodinated dec-1-yn serving as a substrate.
- The key steps included the production of the C10-component through electrophilic iodination of dec-1-yne and the C3-component via a Grignard reaction on a bromopropoxy compound.
- Field tests conducted in 2024 confirmed the presence of Keiferia lycopersicella, the tomato pinworm, in several regions of Armenia, marking its first recorded finding in the country.
