cis-9-Tricosene is a straight-chain hydrocarbon alkene commonly used in chemical research, particularly in studies of insect pheromones and behavioral responses in organisms like fruit flies. It is the sex attractant of the female house fly and is formulated into baits and traps for controlling house, stable and blow flies in livestock, food-handling and residential settings. It serves as a key reference compound for investigating mating signals and olfactory communication. This chemical has a CAS number of 27519-02-4, with the molecular formula C23H46 and a molecular weight of 322.6113 g/mol. It is stable at ambient storage conditions and is classified as a skin sensitiser (H317: may cause an allergic skin reaction), so skin contact should be avoided during handling. Molekula supplies cis-9-Tricosene from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
