Description

This is a natural compound that contains the active ingredient 2-nonyl acetate. It is produced by the plant R. graveolens and can be found in various plants including those of the genus Pimenta, which are used in the production of spices such as allspice. The compound has been shown to have an effect on mosquitoes, which may be due to its pheromone-like nature. The reaction rate for this compound is slow and it has been difficult to determine its profile due to the lack of data available. 2-Nonyl acetate has also been shown to have a positive effect on bees and other pollinating insects, suggesting that it may be useful in drug development for mellifera species.
