A sesquiterpenoid ant repellent from Dysoxylum spectabile

(2 S,3 R)-2,3-Dimethyl-3-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)-2-norbornanol was isolated as the ant repellent in an activity-guided separation of the fruits of Dysoxylum spectabile. The structure of the alcohol was established by NMR. Other sesquiterpenes were recognized in a GCMS analysis of the steam distillate.
