Abstract
A systematic procedure is reported for the isolation of a feeding deterrent, (E,S)-nerolidol (I), fromMelaleuca leucadendron leaves for the gypsy moth larvae. Testing of the related alcohols, farnesol (II) and geraniol (III) showed them to be deterrent, but the simpler isoprene-related compounds, 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol andt-amyl alcohol were inactive.
