(Z,E)-7,11-Hexadecadienal
(Z,E)-7,11-Hexadecadienal is a geometric isomer of Z7,Z11-16:Ald, the core component of the citrus leafminer sex pheromone. (Z,E)-7,11-Hexadecadienal acts as a sex pheromone tropism inhibitor; when mixed with the sex pheromone Z7,Z11-16:Ald, it blocks the tropism of male citrus leafminers towards the sex pheromone component. (Z,E)-7,11-Hexadecadienal can be used in insect resistance-related research.

Biological Activity
(Z,E)-7,11-Hexadecadienal elicits a moderate electroantennographic response from male citrus leafminer (Phyllocnistis citrella) antennae, with activity lower than that of the natural pheromone component Z7,Z11-16:Ald[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
(Z,E)-7,11-Hexadecadienal (3.0 mg; deployed around field traps) does not significantly reduce male citrus leafminer attraction to pheromone-baited traps when deployed as a surrounding disruptant[1].
