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.

(Z)-11-Octadecenyl Acetate is a Drosophila sex pheromone.

ChEBI: (Z)-octadec-11-enyl acetate is an acetate ester. It is functionally related to a (Z)-octadec-11-enol.
