(Z)-Dodec-3-en-1-ol

(Z)-Dodec-3-en-1-ol (CAS 32451-95-9) is a C12 alcohol used as a semiochemical component in surveillance and IPM work against Cylas formicarius elegantulus.

The only target recorded in our file is Cylas formicarius elegantulus — which is why the material is held for surveillance work rather than as general stock.

In practice it is used as one component of a multi-component blend rather than on its own: loaded on a rubber septum, a polyethylene vial or a membrane dispenser, then deployed with the trap type that suits the target’s flight behaviour.

Where it is used

This material sits in the working part of the catalogue: the compounds formulation teams ask for by CAS when a blend needs a specific isomer, a reference point for a chromatogram, or a small quantity to test before committing to a drum.

Isomer, stability and handling

Alcohols are comparatively stable but hygroscopic. Small water uptake is enough to move a release rate over a long flight season, so keep containers sealed and dry between weighing operations.

Store cool, dry and dark: sealed under nitrogen or argon at −20 °C for holdings longer than one season, and let containers reach room temperature before opening so condensation does not enter the material. Weigh and formulate in a ventilated area; the safety data sheet gives handling detail for the neat substance.

Documentation and packing

Every lot ships with a certificate of analysis covering assay, isomeric composition and the chromatogram used to establish both. Safety data sheets are issued in the destination’s required language.

Standard packing for this line is 1kg / 25kg / 100kg, with smaller development quantities available so a blend can be trialled before a bulk order. Lead time is confirmed at quotation.
