(E)-11-Tetradecenyl acetate
(E)-11-Tetradecenyl acetate is a monounsaturated 14-carbon acetate insecticide and a component of the sex pheromone of the currant shoot borer. (E)-11-Tetradecenyl acetate triggers strong antennal responses in males and is used in combination with (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate to produce an attracting effect. (E)-11-Tetradecenyl acetate has important application value in the sustainable control of pests, and can be used to monitor population dynamics and implement mating disruption. (E)-11-Tetradecenyl acetate is highly species-specific, triggering only extremely weak responses and showing no attracting activity towards Melanotus communis beetles. (E)-11-Tetradecenyl acetate can be used in studies related to the currant shoot borer and targeted pest control.

Biological Activity
(E)-11-tetradecenyl acetate shows almost no effect on the antennae of male Melanotus communis beetles[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
(E)-11-Tetradecenyl acetate (1 ng; single exposure) triggers a strong and stable electrophysiological response in the antennae of male Euhyponomeutoides albithoracellus[1].
When (E)-11-Tetradecenyl acetate and (E)-11-Tetradecenol are formulated at a 2:1 ratio, or when formulated into a multi-component mixture at a 1:1:1:1 ratio for testing, they only trigger negligible antennal responses and show no attractant activity towards male Melanotus communis in field bioassays[2].

-
Animal Model:Euhyponomeutoides albithoracellus (male adults)[1]
-
Dosage:10-90 μg (in (E):(Z) blends); 100 μg (in 1:1 (E):(Z) blend with/without tetradecyl acetate)
-
Administration:field trap bait; single load
-
Result:Captured high numbers of male moths when in 1:1 blend with (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate.
Showed numerically >60% higher trap catches when 100 μg tetradecyl acetate was added to 1:1 blend, though difference was not statistically significant.
Captured very few male moths when used alone.
Captured large numbers of male moths when in 25:75 or 50:50 (E):(Z) blends, with 25:75 blend having the highest mean trap catch.
Captured significantly fewer male moths when in 10:90, 75:25, or 90:10 (E):(Z) blends compared to 25:75 and 50:50 blends.
-
Animal Model:Euhyponomeutoides albithoracellus (male adults, 1-4 days post-emergence)[1]
-
Dosage:1 ng (as part of synthetic candidate compound blend, 1 ng/μL per compound)
-
Administration:GC effluent delivery; single exposure
-
Result:Elicited strong, consistent electroantennographic responses in male moth antennae, with response amplitudes similar to those elicited by gland extracts from female moths.
