Hexahydrofarnesylacetone (6,10,14-trimethylpentadecan-2-one, 1) is a widespread ketone occurring in plants and insects. Several species use this compound or the respective alcohol as part of their pheromone bouquet. Here, we showed by using deuterium labeled phytol (3) and GC-MS experiments that the Large Cabbage White butterfly Pieris brassicae can take up phytol in the larval stage and transforms it into 1 by oxidative degradation.
六氢法呢基丙酮(6,10,14-三甲基十五烷-2-酮,1)是一种广泛存在于植物和昆虫中的酮类化合物。有几种昆虫以这种化合物或相应的醇类作为其信息素混合物的一部分。在这里,我们通过使用氘标记的植醇(3)和 GC-MS 实验表明,大菜粉蝶 Pieris brassicae 可以在幼虫阶段摄取植醇,并通过氧化降解将其转化为 1。
