Description

Sulcatol, also known as (R)-(-)-6-methylhept-5-en-2-ol, is a naturally occurring insect pheromone. It is the primary sex pheromone of the male sugarcane borer moth, Diatraea saccharalis, and is involved in attracting females for mating. Sulcatol is synthesized via various methods, including the use of chiral catalysts and asymmetric reactions. It is an important tool in understanding insect behavior and communication, as well as in developing novel pest control strategies. Studies on sulcatol focus on its synthesis, biological activity, and potential applications in insect control. '
