N2 - The major sex attractant released by Scrobipalpuloides absoluta, a devastating tomato pest, was identified as (3E,8Z,11Z)-3,8,11-tetradecatrienyl acetate by a novel strategy involving the random reduction of double bonds. The technique is applicable to double bond localization of polyunsaturated compounds available even in nanogram quantities. The triene ester was synthesized by a stereospecific procedure and shown to be highly attractive to conspecific males and identical to the natural substance.
