โฆ Synopsis
Male-specific volatile components released by the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus Gen~ar, from Australia have been identified as (1S,3R,5R,7S)-1 -ethyl-3,5,7-trimethyl-2,8-dioxabieyclo[3.2.1 ]octane and the 7R-epimer (as a minor component) by synthesis and enantioseleetive gas chromatography.
