title: Gas chromatography and the structural elucidation of lepidopteran pheromones.
abstract: Retention data are presented for standards which can be used in the structural elucidation of lepidopteran sex attractants. The use of gas chromatography in the analysis of the geometrical isomers of delta11-tetradecenal, the sex pheromones of the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana, is discussed.
