bombykol

Japanese: ボンビコール(英語表記)bombykol
bombykol
It is the sex pheromone of the silkworm Bombyx mori , and was named bombykol after its scientific name, as it is an alcohol. It was isolated in 1961 by German Butenandt A. Butenandt and his colleagues, and its chemical structure was elucidated to be ( E , Z )-10,12-hexadienol. It was the world's first chemically confirmed pheromone. Bombykol is produced by female moths and released from lateral vesicles (attractant glands) at the tip of their abdomens. When males receive the sex pheromone with their antennae, they approach the female while shaking their wings and assume a mating posture.
