The secretion of the paracloacal glands of the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) contains over 80 lipophilic compounds, including saturated and unsaturated long-chain alcohols along with their formic, acetic, and butyric acid esters, and several isoprenoids. Most of these compounds were identified on the basis of mass spectra, obtained by GC-MS. In addition, identification of the major components was supported by infrared spectra obtained by GC-FTIR. Major differences are indicated in the composition of the paracloacal gland secretion of C. acutus and that of another crocodylid, the African dwarf crocodile (Osteolaemus tetraspis).

Synthesis and biological evaluation of (E)- and (Z)-8-tetradecenyl formate (3,4) as pheromone mimics was executed.A 10:1 mixture of the (E)- and (Z)-formate was shown to be as attractive as a 10:1 mixture of (E)- and (Z)-hexadecenal (1,2) (genuine pheromone) in a 100-ng dose against the male yellow peach moth, Dichochrocis punctiferalis.
