The main component of Mediterranean flour moth (Anagasta kühniella Zell) pheromone (9Z,12E)-9,12-tetradecadien-1-ol acetate (ZETA) was obtained in the course of stereoselective Witting reaction of l-acetoxynonane-9-al with ylide generated from (3E)-pentenetriphenylphosphonium bromide in the presence of sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (NaHMDS). Among the three adhesives CUSA, Estonia, Poland), evaluated under laboratory conditions, applied with pheromone ZETA and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol used as antioxidant on sticky paper stripes, the highest number of male catching revealed the last one.
