Abstract The thoracic gland of the ant-lionEuroleon nostras was found to contain nerol oxide (1a) and (Z)-6-undecen-2-ol (nostrenol,3) while the speciesGrocus bore contained 10-homonerol oxide (1b) and nostrenol (3). Nerol (2a) and 10-homonerol (2b) were found in a third species,Myrmeleon formicarius. 10-Homonerol, racemic 10-homonerol oxide, and racemic as well as (R)- and (S)-nostrenol were synthesized. The nerol oxide ofE. nostras and the 10-homonerol oxide ofG. bore were found to be racemic, while both species contained optically pure (R)-nostrenol (28).
