Ethyl 3-hexenoate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Ethyl 3-hexenoate has a green, fruity aroma.

Occurrence

Reported found in pineapple, melon, beer, passion fruit juice, quince, plumcot, prickly pear and kiwifruit.

Definition

ChEBI: A fatty acid ethyl ester of 3-hexenoic acid.

Preparation

From3-hexenoic acid and dicyclohexylcarbodimide; by fungalfermentation (20°C) of 3-hexenoic acid using Saccharomyces cerevisiae; from trialkylboranes and ethyl-4-bromocrotonate in the presence of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-phenoxide; by pyrolysis of acetates.

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: fruity, green, sweet and pineapple-like.

General Description

Ethyl trans-3-hexenoate is an ester. It was evaluated as aroma volatile in the GC effluents of cashew apple water phase phase.
