(R)-Solanone was identified as a female-specific compound from aerations of virgin females of the scale insect, Aulacaspis murrayae Takahashi. The stereochemistry of the insect-produced solanone was confirmed to be (R) by comparison with synthesized racemic and chiral standards on a chiral stationary phase GC column. In bioassays, males were strongly attracted to a synthesized sample of (R)-solanone, demonstrating that this compound is a sex pheromone component for this species.
(R)-茄酮是从粉虱科昆虫 Aulacaspis murrayae Takahashi 的处女雌虫通气中鉴定出的一种雌性特异性化合物。通过与手性固定相 GC 柱上合成的外消旋和手性标准品进行比较,确定昆虫产生的茄酮的立体化学结构为 (R)。在生物测定中,雄性强烈地被合成的 (R)-茄酮样品吸引,表明该化合物是该物种的性信息素成分。
