Application Notes

Callosobruchusic acid is the active component of a species-specific pheromone of the seed beetle and bean weevil. Both enantiomers of callosobruchusic acid are active as as the copulation-release pheromone. The (2S,​6R)​-​1 isomer is the main component of the pheromone, while the (S)​-​2 has an additive effect. Its analogue, 2,​6-dimethyloctane-​1,​8-​dioic acid, shows sterospecific activity with the (2R,​6S)​-​1 is inactive and significantly masks the pheromonal activity of (2S,​6R)​-​1.
