CIS-2-HEXEN-1-OL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Chemical Properties

(Z)-2-Hexen-1-ol is used for a green aroma in fragrances and provides a fresher odor than trans-2-hexenol

Occurrence

Reported found in fresh and cooked apple, sour cherry, blueberry, blackcurrant, papaya, peach, French fried potato, tomato, butter, hop oil, cognac, red and white wines, black tea.

Uses

cis-2-Hexen-1-ol is used in the invention of a repellent for Oryzaephilus surinamensis.

Aroma threshold values

Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: impacting fresh vegetative, slightly fatty with a green bean note, witch hazel and fusel alcoholic with a whiskey nuance.

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 5 to 50 ppm: green vegetative and herbal, raw green beans, tomato and potato with a fusel winey nuance.

General Description

cis-2-Hexen-1-ol is a green leaf volatile (GLV) that is commonly found in herbaceous plants and angiosperm trees. In combination with other GLVs, cis-2-hexen-1-ol may disrupt the response of conifer-infesting ambrosia beetle to the host pheromone and kairomones. This ability makes it a promising candidate for the development of log protectants against ambrosia beetles.
