CAS 765-17-3
:Bombykol
Description:
Bombykol is a chemical compound classified as a pheromone, specifically known for its role in the mating behavior of silkworm moths (Bombyx mori). It is a long-chain fatty alcohol, characterized by its molecular structure that includes a linear carbon chain with a hydroxyl group (-OH) at one end. Bombykol is colorless and has a waxy texture, making it relatively hydrophobic. It is known for its distinctive odor, which is crucial for attracting male moths to females during the mating season. The compound is synthesized in the female moth's pheromone glands and released into the environment, where it can be detected by males from significant distances. Its chemical formula is C18H36O, and it has a relatively low volatility, which allows it to persist in the environment long enough to facilitate mating. Bombykol has also been studied for its potential applications in pest control and as a model for understanding pheromone signaling in other species.
