Abstract
The metasternal
gland secretion of Phoracantha synonyma
contains a diversity of volatile components, one of which,
2-hydroxy-6-methylbenzaldehyde (1), is of widespread occurrence in the genus.
Threemajor components and
several minor components are macrocyclic lactones, of which the following have
been positively identified: decan-9-olide (2), (2)-dec-4-en-9-olide (3) and
11-hydroxytetradec-5-en-13-olide (4). The methyl and ethyl esters of
2-methylbutyric and related acids are also present and are responsible for the
characteristic odour of the fresh secretion.
