Only roughly ten ants were necessary to determine the absolute configuration of the long known alarm pheromone manicone, 1 . Naturally occurring and rac ‐ 1 were hydrogenated and compared to the optically active, synthetic compound by complexation chromatography. Compound 1 was shown to have the 6 S configuration.
