Ecologically active 2-octanoylcyclohexane-1,3-dione from Philodendron guttiferum.
The novel naturally occurring 2-octanoylcyclohexane-1,3-dione 1 was isolated in its enol form from P. guttiferum (Araceae). Its chemical ecological relevance is discussed. There was mass spectral evidence for the presence of small amounts of the homologous 2-decanoyl and 2-dodecanoyl derivatives.
