Summary

An oviposition-deterring pheromone (ODP) of the European cherry fruit flyRhagoletis cerasi L. was isolated from faeces using cellulose and several reverse phase TLC and HPLC procedures. The biological activity was evaluated by means of behavior tests and by electrophysiological recordings from tarsal contact chemoreceptors. The compound was structurally characterized as a N[15(β-glucopyranosyl)oxy-8-hydroxypalmitoyl]-taurine by spectroscopic means. The configurations of C-8 and C-15 of the fatty acid constituent remain to be established by synthetic work.
