Common NameE-2-Hexen-1-ol
DescriptionE-2-Hexen-1-ol is a primary alcohol belonging to the class of aliphatic alcohols. Its chemical structure features a six-carbon chain with a double bond between the second and third carbons and a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the terminal position, which contributes to its reactivity and volatility. This compound is known for its role as a key odorant, particularly in food and plant aromas, where it contributes to the characteristic scents of various fruits and vegetables. E-2-Hexen-1-ol is involved in several biochemical pathways, including those related to the synthesis of volatile organic compounds that can influence plant signaling and attract pollinators. The primary odorants in Fe consist of E-2-hexen-1-ol and (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, highlighting its significance in the olfactory profile of certain biological systems (PMID:38611329 ). Its presence in various biological contexts underscores its importance in both ecological interactions and potential applications in flavor and fragrance industries.
