Abstract An alarm pheromone, C15H24, was isolated from the spotted alfalfa aphid,Therioaphis maculata. The IR, PMR, and [13C]NMR data showed that this alarm pheromone is germacrene A (structure IIIa). The negative plain curve in the ORD of the alarm pheromone implies that the pheromone is (−)-germacrene A (structure IIIb).
