Description

(Z,E)-5,7-Dodecadienyl Acetate is a high-purity, synthetic pheromone compound. This compound is valued for its precise biological activity and serves as a critical component in advanced integrated pest management (IPM) systems. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the agrochemical, biocontrol, and specialty chemical sectors for creating targeted insect attractants and mating disruptors.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: A key active ingredient in pheromone-based lures and traps for monitoring and controlling specific lepidopteran pests.
• Mating Disruption Formulations: Used in slow-release dispensers (e.g., ropes, flakes, sprays) to disrupt insect mating cycles, reducing crop damage without broad-spectrum insecticides.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or intermediate in entomological research for studying insect behavior, olfaction, and developing new biocontrol strategies.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: An important chiral building block for the synthesis of more complex pheromone analogs and other bioactive molecules.

Quality Control

Our (Z,E)-5,7-Dodecadienyl Acetate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure high isomeric purity and chemical identity, critical for consistent biological efficacy. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer ratio, and other key parameters are provided with every 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 degradation. For long-term storage, keep the sealed container in a freezer (-20°C). Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
