Abstract

(Z, Z)-cis-9, 1O-epoxyheneicosa-3, 6-diene, and cis-9, lO-epoxytricosane (VI) found in the gypsy moth (I), the saltmarsh caterpillar moth (2), and the house fly (3), respectively, are some examples of epoxide sex pheromones. Therefore the techniques to locate the epoxide position are of great importance to the natural products chemist. When mass spectrometry (MS) facilities are available, EI-MS (4) and particularly CI-MS (5) are useful to locate the ...
