Identification and localization of volatile hairpencil components in maleAmauris ochlea butterflies (Danaidae)
Tóm tắt
By gas-chromatography and mass-spectroscopy 7 volatile substances have been found on the abdominal hairpencils ofAmauris ochlea males. 6 substances have been identified. The spatial distribution of compounds is correlated to the 5 types of hairs comprising the scent organ.

CompoundsI, II, IV andV were obtained from commercial sources. CompoundVI was supplied by International Flavors and Fragrances. CompoundVII was synthesized as previously described6. For compoundIII, the double bond position could not be ascertained from mass spectral data. It was therefore determined by microozonlysis18 of the esterified (diazomethane) and isolated (micropreparative GC) component. GC/MS examination (Porapak Q column) of the ozonolysis product revealed the presence of propionaldehyde.
The amount ofIII was estimated by treating the extract with diazomethane, and comparing the peak area of the resulting methyl ester ofIII with a calibration curve for methyl hexanoate.
