Abstract:		"Female pheromone glands of the leafroller Argyrotaenia sphaleropa were analyzed. Two acetates were identified as (11Z,13)-tetradecadien-1-yl acetate and (11Z)-tetradecen-1-yl acetate by comparison with synthesized references. The (11Z,13)-tetradecadien-1-yl acetate and the aldehyde (11Z,13)-tetradecadienal were synthesized via a Wittig reaction. A field-trapping test showed that a lure consisting of a mixture of (11Z,13)-tetradecadienal and (11Z,13)-tetradecadien-1-yl acetate in a 10:1-ratio produced the highest trap catches"
