Abstract
Sexually mature male stink bugs, Thyanta pallidovirens, release a male -specific blend of volatiles, including several sesquiterpene hydrocar bons, and the highly conjugated ester methyl (2E,4Z,6Z)-deca-2,4,6-tri enoate 1. The latter compound was synthesized, and found to rearrange under GC conditions via a 1,7 sigmatropic rearrangement. (C) 1997 Else vier Science Ltd.
