Ipsdienol is an insect pheromone. Both enantiomers of Ipsdienol can be produced in high purity and in preparative scale through the chiral resolution of its racemic precursor. It was found that Southern Pine Engravers and Associated Bark Beetles were attracted to Ipsdienol in the Southeastern United States. Ipsdienol was also demonstrated to attract Monochamus titillator and Associated Large Pine Woodborers, again in the Southeastern United States. A pheromone combination of Ipsdienol, Ianierone, and Ipsenol may be a cost-effective general lure for I. avulsus, I. grandicollis, and I. pini.
