Common Name(E)-3-Hexen-1-ol
Description3-Hexen-1-ol, also known as 1-hydroxy-3-hexene, is a colourless oily liquid with an intense grassy-green odour of freshly cut green grass and leaves. It is produced in small amounts by most plants and it acts as an attractant to many predatory insects. 3-Hexen-1-ol is a very important aroma compound that is used in fruit and vegetable flavours and in perfumes. The yearly production is about 30 tonnes. 3-Hexen-1-ol is found in black elderberry.
