Abstract:		"In the course of the elucidation of the primary structure of an isolated trail pheromone fromC. formosanus, a minor component that had the same molecular weight as the major trail pheromone, (Z,Z,E)-3,6,8-dodecatrien-1-ol [(Z,Z,E)-DTE-OH], was detected in the mass chromatogram ofm/z 180 of capillary GC-MS. The mass spectrum of the minor component showed a prominent pattern of dodecatrien-1-ol. Chemical analysis demonstrated that the complete structure was (Z,E,E)-DTE-OH. Furthermore, capillary GC-MS-HR-SIM analysis indicated that the component existed only in the workers ofCoptotermes formosanus Shiraki and was not present in workers ofReticulitermes speratus (Kolbe). This minor component may be a species-specific factor ofC. formosanus, although this was not suggested by a two-choice bioassay"
