trans-5-Decenyl acetate is a synthetic sex pheromone component. trans-5-Decenyl acetate attracts male Anarsia lineatella moths when used in a mixture with trans-5-decen-1-ol. trans-5-Decenyl acetate can be used to monitor male Anarsia lineatella moth activity in peach and almond orchard field [1].
In Vivo, trans-5-Decenyl acetate (5 mg; loaded into rubber septa dispensers) formulated with 1 mg trans-5-decen-1-ol effectively attract male peach twig borer moths, with a mean trap catch of 2249 moths, and enable detection of distinct diel and seasonal flight patterns in orchard settings[1].
