Aphid sex pheromones: from discovery to commercial production [PDF]
, 2003 This review charts the progress made with aphid sex pheromone chemistry, from initial identification of cyclopentanoid nepetalactones, for example (4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactone (1) and (1R,4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactol (2), to commercial production from a ...
