(2S) -6-methylhept-5-en-2-ol

(S) - (+) -6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-ol is a chiral component of pheromone blends for certain Cerambycid beetles (Lamiinae) . Notably, biological activity requires a racemic mixture of both the S and R enantiomers, as the pure S-configuration is inactive. This compound is used in ecological and behavioral research to study insect communication and develop monitoring strategies.
