Methyl 2,6,10-trimethyltridecanoate (1) and methyl 2,6,10-trimethyldodecanoate (2) have been identified as male-produced sex pheromones of the Brazilian soybean stink bugs Euschistus heros (F.) and Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood). In order to establish a defined attractive blend for both species, compounds 1 and 2 were synthesized as mixtures of stereoisomers to be employed in behavior bioassays. (+/-)-Citronellol (3) was utilized as starting material. and the syntheses was carried out in six steps with good overall yield. When tested alone, synthetic compounds 1 and 2 proved to be active in a two-choice olfactometer: however, a 20:1 mixture of 1 and 2 was much more attractive to E. heros females. A similar blend had been found among the headspace volatiles of males.
