Abstract: Spiroacetals such as E-7-methyl-1,6-dioxaspiro[4,5]decane (trans-conophthorin; tC) and acetamides [predominantly N-(3-methylbutyl)acetamide; N3MBA], are two major groups of volatiles discovered in venoms of many Vespidae. In the course of testing the attractiveness of tC and N3MBA to… read more here.
