Abstract
Partially fluorinated analogs of (Z)-9-dodecenyl acetate, the major pheromone component of the grape berry moth Eupoecilia ambiguella, produced a variety of different behaviors in wind tunnel and field trapping experiments. A difluoro analog was a potent attractant, the trifluoromethyl analog had little attractancy, and the pentafluoroethyl analog was a potent synergist for the natural pheromone.
