title: Synthesis and absolute configuration of a constitutionally-new [5.6] spiroacetal from B. tryoni (Queensland fruit fly).
abstract: A novel spiroacetal, (2S,6R,8S)-2-methyl-8-ethyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.6]dodecane (1), has been identified from the volatile secretions of female B. tryoni by mass spectral analysis and synthesis of an authentic, enantioenriched sample.
