Description

(S)-(-)-Ipsenol is a high-purity, chiral pheromone compound with the CAS registry number 35628-05-8. This specific enantiomer is valued for its potent biological activity and is a critical standard and intermediate in advanced agrochemical and biochemical research. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories focused on developing targeted insect behavior modifiers and semiochemicals. Its high volatility makes it particularly suitable for formulation in controlled-release dispensers and analytical applications.

Application

• Pheromone Synthesis: A key chiral building block for the synthesis of insect pheromones and other behavior-influencing semiochemicals.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development and testing of next-generation, species-specific insect attractants and mating disruptors for integrated pest management (IPM).
• Analytical Standard: Serves as a high-purity reference standard for gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in environmental and entomological studies.
• Biochemical Studies: Employed in olfactory receptor research and studies of insect-plant chemical interactions.
• Formulation Development: Used in R&D for creating controlled-release dispensers, lures, and other delivery systems for field applications.
