Description

(Z)-11-Tetradecen-1-Yl Acetate is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol acetate ester, a key compound in the class of insect pheromones. This product is essential for its role as a primary component in the sex pheromone blend of several economically significant moth species, enabling targeted and environmentally responsible pest management. It is primarily required by manufacturers of agricultural biocontrol products, research institutions in entomology, and companies developing insect monitoring and mating disruption systems.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: A critical active ingredient in pheromone-based mating disruption dispensers and lures for Lepidopteran pests.
• Insect Monitoring & Trapping: Used in integrated pest management (IPM) programs for accurate population monitoring and threshold detection.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and synthesis intermediate in entomological and chemical ecology research.
• Formulation of Pheromone Blends: A precise component in multi-compound pheromone mixtures for species-specific attractants.
• Organic & Sustainable Farming: Supports non-toxic, species-specific pest control strategies compliant with organic certification standards.

Quality Control

Our (Z)-11-Tetradecen-1-Yl Acetate is manufactured under strict quality systems to ensure high chemical and isomeric purity, which is critical for biological activity. Every batch is analyzed via GC, GC-MS, and NMR to confirm identity, purity, and the precise Z-isomer geometry. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and maintain stability. Keep away from heat and open flames. For long-term storage, consider freezing at -20°C.
