cis-9-Tricosene CAS 27519-02-4

What is cis-9-Tricosene CAS 27519-02-4?

cis-9-Tricosene CAS 27519-02-4, also known as muscalure, is a naturally inspired insect pheromone that mimics the chemical signals used by houseflies for communication and attraction. It functions as a highly selective attractant rather than a toxic insecticide, making it an important component in integrated pest management systems and environmentally friendly pest control strategies.

Specification

Feature

• Pheromone-Based Attraction Mechanism: cis-9-Tricosene acts as a synthetic analog of natural insect pheromones, effectively attracting houseflies and enabling targeted pest control without relying on toxic action.
• High Selectivity: It specifically targets dipterous insects such as houseflies, reducing impact on non-target organisms and supporting environmentally responsible pest management.
• Low Toxicity Profile: As a behavior-modifying compound rather than a conventional pesticide, it offers a safer alternative for use in integrated pest control systems.
• Stable Chemical Properties: The compound demonstrates stability under normal conditions with low vapor pressure and consistent performance in bait formulations.

Application

• Fly Control and Pest Management: Widely used as an attractant in fly bait formulations to control housefly populations in agricultural, industrial, and public health environments.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Applied in environmentally friendly pest control strategies where selective attraction and trapping are preferred over broad-spectrum insecticides.
• Entomological and Behavioral Research: Utilized in studies of insect communication, pheromone signaling, and behavioral ecology.
• Pesticide Formulation Intermediate: Used as an active or co-active ingredient in pest control products, enhancing the efficiency of bait systems.
