Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation (Z)-8-Heptadecene and n-pentadecane were electrophysiologically active to pollinators.
- Mechanism O. insectifera semiochemicals are probably formed by decarbonylation without preceding elongation.
- Mechanism O. sphegodes and O. speculum semiochemicals are probably formed by elongation and decarbonylation reactions.
