cis-11-Hexadecenal has been used in the preparation of fatty aldehyde semicarbazone derivatives during their analysis by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometery.
Female of the Heliothine species use (Z)-11-Hexadecenal as the major component of their sex pheromones.
ChEBI: (Z)-hexadec-11-enal is a hexadecenal containing a double bond at position 11 (the cis-stereoisomer). Major pheromone component detected in the whole-animal male Helicoverpa zea antennal preparations It has a role as a pheromone and an epitope.
