Riassunto
È stata studiata la secrezione odorosa che il MiriapodePolidesmus collaris collaris (Koch) emette quando è disturbato. Dalla frazione neutra è stato isolato e identificato un benzoato otticamente attivo del nitrile mandelico; benzaldeide e acido cianidrico sono stati pure ritrovati.

No band assignable to the CN group is found in the 2300-2000 cm−1 region of the IR-spectrum; the same has been observed for other liquid esters of α-hydroxynitriles. SeeL. J. Bellamy,The Infrared Spectra of Complex Molecules, 2nd Ed. (1959), p. 266.
