Nonacosane occurs naturally and has been reported to be a component of a pheromone of Orgyia leucostigma,[2] and evidence suggests it plays a role in the chemical communication of several insects, including the female Anopheles stephensi (a mosquito).[3]
Nonacosane has been identified within several essential oils. It can also be prepared synthetically.[4]
