Abstract
The identification of four further major constituents of the pedal gland exudate of the bontebok, Damaliscus dorcas dorcas, viz. α-terpineol, 2-n-heptylpyridine, m-cresol and (Z)-6-dodecen-4-olide and the investigation of the stereochemistry of the double bond in (Z) -6-dodecen-4-olide by means of iterative computer analysis are described. An improved synthesis of this compound is outlined.Keywords
