(2R) -6-methylhept-5-en-2-ol
(R) -6-Methylhept-5-en-2-ol is a chiral component of the aggregation pheromone for Cerambycid beetles in the Lamiinae subfamily. Biological activity requires the racemic mixture, as the (S) -enantiomer alone is inactive. This compound is used in ecological and behavioral research to study insect communication and develop pest management strategies.
