Abstract
Female abdominal tips from the pestiferous fruit-fly species, Bactroce ra latifrons (Hendel) provide a suite of odd and even 2-alkyl-8-methyl -1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5] undecanes (alkyl = methyl, ethyl, (n)propyl, (n)b utyl) which are shown by synthesis and enantioselective gas chromatogr aphy to possess the (2S, 6R, 8S) stereochemistry.
