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