Synthesis and biological evaluation of ( E )‐ and ( Z )‐8‐tetradecenyl formate (3, 4) as pheromone mimics was executed. A 10:1 mixture of the ( E )‐ and ( Z )‐formate was shown to be as attractive as a 10: 1 mixture of ( E )‐ and ( Z )‐10‐hexadecenal ( 1 , 2 ) (genuine pheromone) in a 100‐ng dose against the male yellow peach moth, Dichocrocis punctiferalis .
