(Z)-11-Hexadecenyl acetate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
(Z)-11-Hexadecenyl acetate is a component of insect sex pheromones, which elicits electroantennogram responses in male Plutella xylostella and induces their wing-fanning and claspers-exposing behaviors. (Z)-11-Hexadecenyl acetate also serves as a sex pheromone component of Spodoptera exigua and Chilo suppressalis. When used in combination with other pheromones, (Z)-11-Hexadecenyl acetate significantly enhances the attraction effect on male Tryporyza incertulas, and it exists in trace amounts in the eluate of the ovipositor of female Tryporyza incertulas. (Z)-11-Hexadecenyl acetate shows no attraction effect on male Cnaphalocrocis medinalis and exhibits species specificity.

Biological Activity
(Z)-11-Hexadecenyl acetate is present in the ovipositor eluate collected from unmated female Scirpophaga incertulas moths in northern Vietnam 4 h after entering the scotophase[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
(Z)-11-Hexadecenyl acetate (0.1-1 μg; loaded on cotton wick; over 3 nights) in 1:1 or 4:6 mixtures with (Z)-11-hexadecenal attracts male diamondback moths under field conditions[1].
(Z)-11-Hexadecenyl acetate (100 μg; field deployment; 14-44 d), when added with 1000 μg (Z)-13-octadecenyl acetate to the standard S. incertulas sex pheromone blend, increases the attractiveness of lures to male S. incertulas by an average of 120% in field populations in northern Vietnam, with significant increases observed in five out of six replicated experiments[2].
