Identification and Stereoselective Total Synthesis of an Insect Homosesquiterpene from the Clonal Raider Ant Ooceraea biroi
Ants typically demonstrate a high level of complex social behavior that is largely mediated by chemical communication. In recent years, the Clonal raider ant Ooceraea biroi has become a promising model system for the study of social behavior in ants. Here we report the profile of extracted volatiles from O. biroi and, following detection of an α-homofarnesene as the major component, unambiguously confirm its structural identity as (3Z,6E)-14-methyl-α-farnesene through preparative stereoselective total synthesis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
