Abstract

The principal volatile component (99+ %) of the sex pheromone glands of Lutzomyia longipalpis from Lapinha, Brazil, has been isolated and characterized as a novel homosesquiterpene with the specific structure proposed as 9-methylgermacrene-B, (E,E)-8-(1-methylethylidenyl)-1.5,10- trimethyl-1,5-cyclodecadiene.
