Description

(6Z,11E)-6,11-Hexadecadien-1-Ol Acetate CAS NO 83483-57-2 is a high-purity, synthetic pheromone compound, specifically an acetate ester of a conjugated hexadecadienol. This compound is valued for its precise stereochemistry and high biological activity, making it a critical component in advanced integrated pest management (IPM) systems. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the agrochemical and specialty chemical sectors for formulating species-specific insect attractants and mating disruptants.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: As a key active ingredient in pheromone lures and dispensers for monitoring and controlling lepidopteran pests in crops such as cotton, corn, and vegetables.
• Mating Disruption Formulations: Incorporated into slow-release formulations (e.g., twist-ties, sprays, or aerosol emitters) to disrupt insect mating cycles, reducing reliance on broad-spectrum insecticides.
• Research and Development: Serves as a reference standard and synthetic intermediate in entomological research, behavioral studies, and the development of new eco-friendly pest control products.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Used as a chiral building block or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex pheromones, flavors, or fragrances due to its defined double-bond geometry.
