Schildknecht, Hermann published the artcileStructure and effects of mustelid ecomones. IV. Analysis of behaviorally active glandular secretions of the badger (Meles meles L.), Name: 2-Butylhexanoic acid, the publication is Chemiker-Zeitung (1984), 108(1), 1-5, database is CAplus.
In the subcaudal gland secretion of male or female badger, which has a function in that it is used to mark territory and prey, as well as other roles in chem. communication, the following fatty acids were identified: propionate??[79-09-4], isobutyrate??[79-31-2], butyrate??[107-92-6], 2-methylbutyrate??[116-53-0], isovalerate??[503-74-2], valerate??[109-52-4], isocaproate??[646-07-1], capryllate??[124-07-2], and methylnonanoate??[1731-84-6]. These fatty acids were in the foul-odor fraction of the secretion, and the odor of the anal gland secretion was also caused by lower fatty acids. However, lipophilic substances, especially higher saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, were also present in both subcaudal and anal gland secretions. The following ketones were also identified in anal gland secretions: 3-butylnonan-2-one??[58766-10-2], 3-butylundecan-2-one??[89355-10-2], 3-butyltridecan-2-one??[89355-11-3], and 3-butylpentadecan-2-one??[89355-12-4].
