  • Applications

    (E)-4-Dodecenyl acetate (CAS 38363-26-7) is a semiochemical used primarily as a sex-pheromone component of certain insect species for population monitoring and mating disruption within integrated pest management programs; it is formulated into lures, twist-ties, rubber septa, or polymer controlled-release matrices to support surveillance, forecasting, and reduced reliance on conventional insecticides, and it also serves as an analytical reference standard in GC/GC-MS, a tool for chemical ecology and behavioral bioassays, a substrate in controlled-release formulation and stability studies (degradation kinetics and environmental fate), and a synthetic building block for related pheromone analogs; handling and storage typically minimize oxygen, light, and heat to limit oxidation, isomerization, and loss of bioactivity.
