SUMMARY:

The synthesis of sex pheromones for pest monitoring and control has facilitated the implementation of sustainable insect management in agriculture. The defoliating caterpillar Thyrinteina arnobia (Stoll, 1782) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) is cited as the most important lepidopteran for eucalyptus in the country. In the state of Alagoas, the presence of T. arnobia has already been observed in experimental clonal eucalyptus plantations, causing significant damage. Previous studies describe the major component of the sex pheromone of T. arnobia as one of the stereoisomers of 3,4-epoxy-6,9-eneicosadiene. However, major components may present a time-consuming and economically unfeasible synthesis, making it necessary to study other pheromone components or alternative synthetic routes. Thus, the objective of the present project is the study and synthesis of the sex pheromone of T. arnobia for practical application in the Integrated Pest Management of eucalyptus.
