Application Notes
Fumigatin methylether (ubiquinone Q0) was first prepared as a semi-synthetic analogue of fumigatin by Anslow and Raistrick in 1938. Fumigatin methylether has since been isolated in the defensive secretions of several millipede species. Fumigatin methylether is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of Coenzyme Q and has demonstrated anti-feedant activity against aphids.
