Structural Identification of the Diester Preen-Gland Waxes of the Red Knot (Calidris canutus)
摘要:
The intact C-32-C-48 diester wax esters of the preen gland of the migrating bird Calidris canutus are shown, using synthesized standards, to comprise predominantly C-12-C-16 alkane-1,2-diols esterified with octanoic, decanoic, and dodecanoic acid at one position, and with predominantly even-numbered carbon fatty acids at the other position.
