9-Methylgermacrene-B; proposed structure for novel homosesquiterpene from the sex pheromone glands ofLutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae) from Lapinha, Brazil.
The principal volatile component (99 + %) of the sex pheromone glands ofLutzomyia longipalpis from Lapinha, Brazil, has been isolated and characterized as a novel homosesquiterpene with the specific structure proposed as 9-methylgermacrene-B, (E,E)-8-(1-methylethylidenyl)-1,5,10-trimethyl-1,5-cyclodecadiene.
