Apart from the European cherry fruit fly, there has only been one other related study which involved the use of fly faeces methanol extracts from the Mediterranean fruit fly, (Ceratitis capitata) to reduce infestation in coffee bushes.

25. Single sets of signals were seen in 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra, and HPLC analysis also showed a single signal.

30. 1H-NMR analysis of the crude product (NMR integration of triplets at 3.893 ppm (J = 6.3 Hz, major isomer) and 3.667 ppm (J = 6.3 Hz, minor isomer)) showed the diastereoselectivity of the alkylation to be at least. 95:5. A single recrytallisation gave diastereomerically pure 13.

33. If the natural product had been an 80:20 mixture of l- and d-glutamic acid isomers, two signals at a ratio of 80:20 would have been observed in the HPLC at 46 min and 48 min. respectively.

35. The stereochemistry is assumed based upon the observation that (R)-l-(2) eluted before (R)-d- (2) under identical HPLC conditions.
