(E)-5-Dodecen-1-ol acetate

Acetic acid [(E)-5-dodecene]-1-yl ester is a synthetic insect pheromone used for trapping and monitoring pests. As a sex pheromone, it mimics the chemical signals released by female insects, such as the codling moth, to attract males. This substance is widely used in agriculture as part of integrated pest management strategies to reduce the reliance on chemical insecticides.
