3,7-Dimethylpentadecan-2-ol was identified as the free alcohol in three species from two genera of pine sawflies (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae). In Neodiprion lecontei and Neodiprion sertifer the acetate of this alcohol is the major component of their sex attractant; in Diprion similis it is the propionate. By examining the responses of the male antennae of several species of Neodiprion through the electroantennographic technique, it was determined that four species responded to the acetate and six to the propionate.
3,7-二甲基十五烷-2-醇被鉴定为两种松叶蜂属（膜翅目：松叶蜂科）三个物种中的游离醇。在红头松叶蜂和欧洲松叶蜂中，这种醇的乙酸酯是其性引诱剂的主要成分；在相似松叶蜂中，其性引诱剂的主要成分是丙酸酯。通过电触角图技术研究几种红头松叶蜂雄性触角的反应，确定有4个物种对乙酸酯有反应，6个物种对丙酸酯有反应。
