General description

2,3-Hexanedione is a major component of the male-produced aggregation pheromone of Anelaphus inflaticollis Chemsak. It reacts with ethylenediamine to yield macrocyclic tetradentate 12-membered nitrogen donor (N4) ligand.

Application

2,3-Hexanedione was used to evaluate the influence of xanthan concentration on the release of aroma compounds in xanthan-thickened food model systems.

We report the identification and field bioassays of a major component of the male-produced aggregation pheromone of Anelaphus inflaticollis Chemsak, an uncommon desert cerambycine beetle. Male A. inflaticollis produced a sex-specific blend of components that included (R)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-one, (S)-2-hydroxyhexan-3-one, 2,3-hexanedione, and
