Article Link: https://doi.org/10.1039/B202697J AbstractThe demonstration that both oxygen atoms of 1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane (1), the sex-pheromone of the female olive fly, originate from dioxygen, strongly implicates monooxygenase mediated processes in assembly of (1), and reveals unexpected complexity in the formation of its nine-carbon precursor.
