S-Ipsdienol is a terpene alcohol, it is one of the major aggregation pheromones of the bark beetle. It was first identified from Ips Confusus, in which it is believed to be a principle sex attractant[1]

It is suggested that the compound plays a role in interspecies communication between Ips Latidens and Ips Ini, falicitiating reductions in competition for breeding material and/or mating interference.[2]

Synthesis

The compound has been synthesized from D-mannitol[3]
