    Notes: Summary. Bacteria species known to induce the biosynthesis of crucifer-specific phytoalexins have earlier been shown to be associated with Delia flies. Eleven crucifer-specific phytoalexins and related synthetic compounds were applied on surrogate paper leaves and offered to cabbage root flies in oviposition assays. Since three of these compounds (methoxybrassinin, cyclobrassinin, brassitin) proved to be significantly stimulatory whereas the remaining metabolites had no effect, the reaction of the fly appears to be structure-specific. Inactive phytoalexins had no inhibitory effect on oviposition. 100 μg of methoxybrassinin per surrogate leaf was as stimulatory as 0.05 gle (gram leaf equivalent) of a methanolic host-leaf (Brassica oleracea) extract. Thus the three active phytoalexins can explain only part of the activity of host-pant extracts but might induce a preference for infected plants.

    Notes: There are cases in which exciton coupling between two chromophores does not occur because the two electric transition moments which should interact are coplanar. This is seen with cyclohexane-1,4-diols (both ee or ea) and a wide variety of 3-hydroxy carotenoids, 3-hydroxyretinoids, etc. A general approach to deal with such cases is to acylate one of the hydroxyl groups with a chiral allenic acid substituted with a suitable chromophore, e.g., CHROM—CH=C=CH-COOH. The allenic bond introduces a 90° twist at the italicized central carbon so that the allenic CHROM now couples with the second chromophore. This concept of introducing an auxiliary allenic center should be of general applicability in other similar cases. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
