Synthetic pheromones, which attract male gypsy moth areesters of which of the following acids?
Correct answer: A. Acetic acid
- A. Acetic acid
- B. Hexanoic acid
- C. Decanoic acid
- D. Dodecanoicacid
Explanation
(Z)-7,8-epoxy-2-methyloctadecane is the synthetic pheromones, which attract male gypsy moth. Acetic acid is a short-chain fatty acid, and its esters (acetic acid esters) can indeed be used in the formulation of synthetic pheromones to attract male gypsy moths.
