Synthesis Of 4-(4-Methoxy -Phenyl)-3-Butene-2-On And The Activity Test As A Fruit Flies A Tract Ant

4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-buten-2-on has been synthesized from p-anisaldehyde and acetone via aldol condensation. The reaction was performed at room temperature under basic condition for 12 hours to give brown solid of product (m.p 64-68>C) in 66.19 % yield. p-anisaldehyde itself was produced from ox...

Description
Summary:4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-buten-2-on has been synthesized from p-anisaldehyde and acetone via aldol condensation. The reaction was performed at room temperature under basic condition for 12 hours to give brown solid of product (m.p 64-68>C) in 66.19 % yield. p-anisaldehyde itself was produced from oxidation of anetol major component of anise oil by the use of potassium permanganate as a oxidator. The structure of the products was analyzed by FTIR, 1 H NMR and GC-MS. Activity fest of 4-(4-methoxyphenyQ-3-buten-2-on as an attractant was carried out in Sleman with methyl eugenol as a reference. The result showed that 4-(4-methoxyphenyQ-3-buten-2-on was inactive compound as a fruit flies attractant and some of fruit flies, i.e. Bactrocera papayae, B: carambolae, B. umbrosa and B. abdolonginqua was found on the test area. Keywords: 4-(4-metoxy-phenyl)~3-butene-2-on, Bactrocera spp., attractant.
