Abstract:
[Objectives] To establish an effective method for the separation and
preparation of diene monoepoxides
regioisomers mixtures of the Lepidopteran Type Ⅱ sex pheromone. [Methods] The parameters of the method were
established using forward system, semi-preparative, high performance, liquid
chromatography combined with an evaporative light scattering detector and
SunFire Silica OBD preparative column, after which the prepared monomers were
verified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and field trapping. [Results] The semi-preparative high performance liquid
chromatography was eluted with 0.5 % tetrahydrofuran in hexane at a flow rate
of 7.0 mL/min with the drift tube temperature of the evaporative light
scattering detector set at 40 ℃ and the gain value set at 500. This
method efficiently separated diene monoepoxides regioisomers mixtures of the Type Ⅱ sex pheromone with a resolution of
2.72-3.10. The purity of the prepared compounds was significant and the recovery rate of prepared samples was
80.73%-98.47%. Field trapping tests confirmed that the prepared Z3, epo6 and
Z9-18:H, in combination with Z3, Z6 and Z9-18:H, specifically attracted Ectropis
grisescens (45.33 moths/trap over 28 d), whereas the prepared Z3, Z6 and
epo9-18:H, in combination with Z3, Z6 and Z9-18:H, specifically
attracted Miltochrista striata (44.00 moths/trap over 28 d). [Conclusion] Semi-preparative
high performance liquid chromatography is a
simple, convenient and efficient method for the separation and preparation of
diene monoepoxides regioisomers mixtures of the Lepidopteran TypeⅡ sex pheromone, and prepared
samples can be used for sex pheromone studies and small-scale field
applications.
