sexual communication in yellowjacket wasps, a novel sesquiterpene was isolated from body surface extracts of virgin bald-faced hornet queens, Dolichovespula maculata. The gross structure of this sesquiterpene was proposed through microscale spectroscopic analyses, and the configuration of the central olefin was subsequently confirmed by total synthesis. This new natural product (termed here dolichovespulide)
作为一项正在进行的程序的一部分,该程序可识别介导黄夹克黄蜂中性交的性吸引信息素成分,从纯净秃顶的大黄蜂女王Dolichovespula maculata的体表提取物中分离出一种新型倍半萜。该倍半萜烯的总体结构是通过微观光谱分析提出的,随后通过全合成证实了中心烯烃的构型。这种新的天然产物(在这里称为多柔胆素)代表了从分类昆虫类维斯匹虫科中报告的相对少量的萜类化合物的重要添加。
