STEARYL ACETATE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Stearyl Acetate is a sex pheromone found in the males of the castniid palm borer, paysandisia exhibited in their courtship behavior.

Definition

ChEBI: Octadecyl acetate is a carboxylic ester.

Purification Methods

Distil the ester under high vacuum, then crystallise it from Et2O/MeOH, EtOH (m 32.8o) or Me2CO (m 32.4o). Also recorded are m 30.2o; and 35.3o for an form as well as 38-39o for a  form. [Phillips & Mumford J Chem Soc 1663 1934, Beilstein 2 H 136, 2 II 147, 2 III 266, 2 IV 171.]
