Abstract:		"As part of an ongoing program to identify sex attractant pheromone components that mediate sexual communication in yellowjacket wasps, a novel sesquiterpene was isolated from body surface extracts of virgin bald-faced hornet queens, Dolichovespula maculata. The gross structure of this sesquiterpene was proposed through microscale spectroscopic analyses, and the configuration of the central olefin was subsequently confirmed by total synthesis. This new natural product (termed here dolichovespulide) represents an important addition to the relatively small number of terpenoids reported from the taxonomic insect family Vespidae"
