Abstract: S-(-)-trans-Verbenol (1) and its antipode, R-(+)-trans-verbenol (1') have been confirmed as the critical pheromone components of bark beetles. Synthesis of these two active secondary alcohols (1 and 1') from commercially available starting materials S-α-pinene and… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) utilizes a multi-component aggregation pheromone to mediate mass-attacks and thereby colonize otherwise unsusceptible trees. Females produce the attractant frontalin and a synergist, trans-verbenol. We… read more here.
