Description

trans-cis-7,11-Hexadecadienylacetate is a high-purity, synthetic pheromone compound with the CAS number 51607-94-4. This compound serves as a critical active ingredient in the formulation of advanced, species-specific insect attractants for integrated pest management (IPM) programs. It is essential for manufacturers and formulators in the agricultural technology, biocontrol, and specialty chemical sectors seeking reliable, high-performance components for environmentally responsible crop protection solutions.

Application

• Primary Use in Pheromone Lures: Core active ingredient in mating disruption and monitoring traps for key Lepidopteran pests, such as pink bollworm (*Pectinophora gossypiella*).
• Agricultural Pest Management: Formulation into slow-release dispensers, sprays, and aerosols for area-wide mating disruption strategies in cotton, vegetable, and fruit crops.
• Research & Development: Standard reference material for entomological research, behavioral studies, and the development of new insect control methodologies.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Valuable chiral building block or intermediate for the synthesis of more complex pheromone analogs and other fine chemicals.
