Periplanone B is a pheromone produced by the female American cockroach,[1] Periplaneta americana. It is a sexual attractant to male cockroaches, especially at short ranges.[2]
History
The activity of this pheromone was first described in 1952, but it was not until 25 years later that Persoons et al. reported the gross structure of periplanones A and B. The stereochemical configuration and first total synthesis were reported by W. Clark Still's group at Columbia University in 1979.[3]
