Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for synthesising a pheromone of general formula selected from the group comprising compounds (I) and (I?), alone or in admixture: (I) (I?) comprising reacting (2E)-pentene-1,5-diyl diacetate with at least one Grignard reagent in the presence of a copper-based catalyst. The method according to the invention is particularly applicable to the selective synthesis of tomato leafminer (Tuta absolute) pheromone comprising: (3E,8Z,11Z)-tetradecatrien-1-yl acetate and (3E,8Z)-tetradecadien-1-yl acetate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of novel adducts of general formula (I) TPPxTPOP(1-x), wherein TPP is triphenylphosphine, TPOP is triphenylphosphite and x is a real number between 0.05 and 0.9. These novel adducts are useful for the bromination of primary alcohols, in particular for the bromination of primary alcohols.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of pheromones having a high degree of purity to manufacture plastic diffusers containing an insect pheromone filler and having stiffness and fracture-resistant properties that can be used in the tensile or compressive field. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing said articles by means of injection.

Abstract: The invention relates to biodegradable unit doses intended to contain, store, preserve, transport and dispense an aqueous formulation. The doses comprise a shell containing the aqueous formulation, which is made of a material comprising a mixture of biodegradable polymers A and B, such that: —biodegradable polymer A is a thermoplastic polymer having a glass transition temperature of less than 0° C. and —the biodegradable polymer B is a thermoplastic polymer having a glass transition temperature greater than 50° C., characterised in that the unit dose is spherically shaped comprising two poles and an equatorial area, —the equatorial area corresponding to a junction of the two hemispheres and —the shell having at least one line of circumferential weakness, or even two lines of circumferential weakness, located between the equatorial area and one or both poles.

Abstract: The present invention describes a new technology for the formulation of semiochemicals in wick diffusers particularly effective in controlling the diffusion of semiochemicals over periods of several months regardless of the outside temperature.

Abstract: The present invention concerns new stable compositions of 1-Z-bromoalk-1-ene compounds of general formula (A). These compositions are characterized in that they also comprise either at least one cyclic ether compound comprising between 4 and 6 carbon atoms, or at least one ether of general formula (B) in which R1 and R2 are identical or different and selected from the group consisting of: a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms.

Abstract: The invention relates to paintball-pellet-type projectiles containing insect pheromones encapsulated in an aqueous oil-in-water-type formulation. Said formulations can release said pheromones in a sustained manner. Said projectiles are characterised in that they contain the aqueous formulation of encapsulated pheromone compatible with the envelope of the projectile composed of oxo-degradable polymer. The aim of the invention is to use said projectiles to treat trees against insect pests by spraying and bursting said projectiles on the trunks of said trees.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards microparticles consisting of a solid shell made of polymer, in particular an acrylic polymer, surrounding a core comprising a mixture of oil and wax and also pheromone. The present invention is also directed towards a production process and the use of an aqueous suspension of such microparticles containing pheromones comprising fatty chains, such as lepidopteran pheromones, and which are capable of releasing the pheromones in a sustained manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compound of general formula (I) (in configuration Z or E) and to pro-pheromonal compositions and formulations comprising said compound, in addition to the uses thereof for soothing purposes for non-human mammals such as sheep, pigs, sheep, cattle, felines, equines and canines.
