The leaffooted bugs Leptoglossus zonatusand L. occidentalis(Hemiptera: Coreidae) cause substantial damage in tree nut crops in North America and pine seed orchards in North America and Europe, respectively. Sexually mature males of both species produce a number of aldehydes, esters, and sesquiterpenes, which are hypothesized to constitute an aggregation pheromone attractive to both sexes. Among the volatiles produced by males of both species, we identified a unique sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, given the common name “leptotriene” (5), which elicited strong responses from antennae of both sexes in electroantennogram assays. Here, we report its structure and its synthesis from (−)-(E)-β-caryophyllene (1). |
