11-cis Vaccenyl Acetate

The mating and social behaviors of insects are largely orchestrated by a suite of volatile hydrocarbon pheromones. 11-cis Vaccenyl acetate is the male-specific mating pheromone of the fruit fly D. melanogaster. It acts selectively through the Or67d odorant receptor to control mating behavior in both male and female fruit flies.¹
