Structures of homofarnesene and bishomofarnesene isomers from Myrmica ants
Abstract
The homofarnesene and bishomofarnesene isomers from Dufour glands of Myrmica ants have been identified by degradation as 7-ethyl-3,11-dimethyldodeca-1,3,6,10-tetraene (2), and 7-ethyl-3,11-dimethyltrideca-1,3,6,10-tetraene (3).
