Description2-Hexenal, also known as (e)-hex-2-enal or b-propyl acrolein, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain aldehydes. These are an aldehyde with a chain length containing between 6 and 12 carbon atoms. Thus, 2-hexenal is considered to be a fatty aldehyde. 2-Hexenal is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. 2-Hexenal is found in Aethus indicus, Ageratum conyzoides, Aloe arborescens, Aristolochia debilis, Basella alba, Thea sinensis , Capillipedium parviflorum, Capparis spinosa, Citrus limon, Citrus sinensis, Clinopodium serpyllifolium, Dianthus caryophyllus L. , Echinophora tenuifolia, Euploea sylvester, Farfugium japonicum, Gonioctena viminalis, Lonicera japonica, Micromeria maderensis, Nelumbo nucifera, Nepeta racemosa, Origanum sipyleum, Origanum vulgare, Peristeria elata, Petasites albus , Pimenta racemosa, Quercus agrifolia, Riptortus clavatus, Robinia pseudoacacia, Salvia sclarea, Brassica hirta and Thymus longicaulis. 2-Hexenal was first documented in 2011 (PMID: 21548650). Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on 2-Hexenal (PMID: 22177713) (PMID: 22417509).
