(R)-(Z,E)-9,11-octadecadien-13-olide: an intriguing lactone from Heliconius pachinus (Lepidoptera).
A fourteen-membered lactone, (R)-(Z,E)-9,11-octadecadien-13-olide, was isolated from extruded abdominal glands of a Neotropical, nymphalid butterfly. Heliconius pachinus (Lepidoptera). This compound was obtained from mature adults of both sexes, but was not detected in young adults or pupae.
