Spodptera litura

Dihydromyrcenol (329) was fed by Spodptera litura to give 1,2-epoxydihydro-myrcenol (330) as a main products and 3P-hydroxydidyromyrcerol (331) as a minor product. Dihydromyrcenyl acetate (332) was converted to 1,2-dihydroxydihydromyrcenyl acetate (333) (Murata and Miyazawa, 1999) (Figure 14.26).

Spodptera litura converted (l/ )-irani-isolimonene (338) to (l/ ,4i )-p-menth-2-ene-8,9-diol (339) (Miyazawa et al., 1996b) (Figure 14.46). 

R)-trans-Cai eol (81a ) was converted by Spodptera litura to give l-p-menthene-6,8,9-triol (375) (Miyazawa et al, 1996b) (Figure 14.91).
