Synthesis and EAG Responses of German Cockroach (Blattella germanica) Sex Pheromone Analogues

摘要

@@ As one of the most important sanitation pests worldwide, German cockroach (Blattella germanica L.) is difficult to control. Insect sex pheromones are safe and efficient attractants used in integrated pest management. The sex pheromone of German cockroach had been identified as blattellaquinone. Its instability hampered the application of this compound. In order to find new and stable structures, two series analogues (OME-01 — OME-10, BQ-01~ BQ-10) were designed and synthesized by modification of the quinone ring, aliphatic terminal or ester group of blattellaquinone. The EAG responses of these analogues were tested.
