Abstract

Spiroacetal motif is widely distributed in many bioactive natural products of different origins and essentially contributes to various bioactivities. In this paper, two series of spiroacetals were synthesized and biologically evaluated as insect sex attractant towards oriental fruit flies (Bactrocera dorsalis) using methyleugenol as the standard. Biological evaluation demonstrated that a large part of the tested compounds triggered apparent electrophysiological responses from both male and female fruit flies. The stereochemistry of the spiroacetals and the substitution on their phenyl rings influenced the responses to some degree.
