Description

(1E)-1-Hexadecenyl Acetate CAS NO 1787-09-3 is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol acetate ester, also known as cis-11-Hexadecenyl acetate. This compound is a critical semiochemical and intermediate valued for its precise chemical structure and biological activity. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the agrochemical and fine chemical synthesis sectors for producing insect pheromone formulations and specialty organic compounds.

Application

• Insect Pheromone Formulations: A key component in the synthesis of sex pheromones for integrated pest management (IPM) systems targeting specific moth species.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Serves as a vital building block in the production of advanced, environmentally friendly biopesticides and insect attractants.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Used as a chiral intermediate or starting material in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and liquid crystals.
• Research & Development: Employed in biochemical and entomological research as a standard for behavioral studies and analytical method development.
• Specialty Lubricant Additives: Potential use in the formulation of synthetic esters for high-performance lubricants due to its long-chain structure.
