Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo01296a020

The isolation and structure determination of tulirinol (1), an antifeedant for the gypsy moth larvae from the leaves of Liriodendron tulipifera L., are reported.Tulirinol is the first recognized trans-4,cis-9-cyclodecadiene sesquiterpene, details of which are given for its characterization by spectral methods including X-ray crystallography.The absolute stereochemistry was determined by the Horeau partial resolution method.Tatridin A was identified as deacetyltulirinol (5).
