Abstract
Received January 29, 1982 Six triterpenoids have been isolated from leaves of the tropical tree Cordia alliodora (Boraginaceae) and assigned structures on the basis of spectral and crystallographic data and chemical interconversions. All six compounds, 3a-hydroxyolean-12-en-27-oic acid and five oxidized derivatives, were found to be significantly ant repellent in a bioassay that measures the feeding preferences of the leafcutter ant Atta cephalotes. © 1983, American Chemical Society.
