Description

General description

2-Undecanone occurs naturally in wild tomato. It is also found in Ruta chalepensis essential oil and hop oil. Due to its insect repellant activity, 2-undecanone is being considered as a natural non-toxic alternative to N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide or DEET.

Application

• Larvicididal Activity of Natural Repellents Against the Dengue Vector, Aedes aegypti: This paper details the use of natural compounds like 2-Undecanone as effective larvicidal agents against vectors of significant human diseases, showcasing their role in developing non-toxic, eco-friendly insect control solutions (Zhang et al., 2020).


• Control of Filth Flies, Cochliomyia macellaria (Diptera: Calliphoridae), Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae), and Sarcophaga bullata (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), Using Novel Plant-Derived Methyl Ketones: Investigates the efficacy of 2-Undecanone in managing common pest flies, underlining its potential as a biopesticide and organic solvent in public health and safety applications (Deguenon et al., 2019).
