Abstract

Abstract Substitution of fluorine atoms on an organic molecule makes it possible to modify the molecular orbital and electron density of the surface without changing its molecular shape. Point-fluorinated analogues of the sex pheromone of the male African sugarcane borer were synthesized in optically active forms and their pheromone activities were investigated using an EAG test. The EAG activity of these point-fluorinated pheromone ...
