(E)-4-Tridecenyl acetate
(E)-4-Tridecenyl acetate is a sex pheromone produced by female Keiferia lycopersicella and an attractant for male Keiferia lycopersicella moths. (E)-4-Tridecenyl acetate can be used in field traps for monitoring Keiferia lycopersicella presence and spread. (E)-4-Tridecenyl acetate can be used for the research of Keiferia lycopersicella infestation[1][2].

Biological Activity
(E)-4-tridecenyl acetate (10.1 ng per female) is confirmed as the sex pheromone produced by female Keiferia lycopersicella, with a mean titer of 10.1 ng per 2-24 hour old female, via chemical and spectrometric characterization[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
(E)-4-tridecenyl acetate (30-100 μg; passive release; continuously) is as effective at attracting male tomato pinworms as various (E)/(Z)-4-tridecenyl acetate blends in both Florida and California tomato fields, and matches the attractiveness of virgin females in California[1].
