The structure of the sex pheromone produced by the male sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis, from the Jacobina region of Brazil, previously proposed tentatively as the novel homosesquiterpene 3-methyl-α-himachalene is confirmed by synthesis and biological activ

Four stereoisomers (1a-d) of (±)-3-methyl-α-himachalene were synthesized by employing the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of (±)-14 to (±)-18 as the key-step. The male-produced sex pheromone of the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis was shown to possess th
