| Section2 = }} Dihydroactinidiolide is a volatile terpene. It has a sweet, tea-like odor and is used as a fragrance. Dihydroactinidiolide occurs naturally in black tea, fenugreek, fire ants, mangos, silver vine (Actinidia polygama), and tobacco. It has also been prepared synthetically.〔S. Yao, M. Johannsen, R.G. Hazell, K.A. Jorgensen, ''J. Org. Chem.'', 63, 118-121.〕 Dihydroactinidiolide is a pheromone for a variety of insects;〔(Pherobase listing for dihydroactinidiolide )〕 for example, it is one of the three components of the pheromone for queen recognition of the workers of the red fire ant.〔Rocca, J.R. Tumlinson, J.H., Glancey, B.M., Lofgren, C.S., ''Tetrahedron Lett.'', 1983, 24, 1889.〕 As with nepetalactone, found in catnip, dihydroactinidiolide is a cat attractant. Cultivators of silver vine (which contains another such chemical, actinidine, which is also a cat attractant) sometimes find their plants destroyed by enthusiastic cats. == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dihydroactinidiolide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
