| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
2-Hexen-l-ol has a powerful, fruity, green, wine-like, leafy odor
and a sweet, fruity flavor important to strawberry and orange juice.
The ds-form can be prepared by hydrogenation of ds-2-hexenol,
using an aqueous suspension of colloidal palladium; from cis-
4-chloro-2-butenol and magnesium ethyl bromide; the commercial
product is a mixture of the cis- and trans-isomers and can be
prepared from propyl vinyl carbinol by heating with aluminum
oxide. | [Chemical Properties]

tamarind, tomato and tea | [Definition]
ChEBI: 2-hexen-1-ol is a primary allylic alcohol that is 2-hexene in which a hydrogen at position 1 has been replaced by a hydroxy group. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is an alkenyl alcohol and a primary allylic alcohol. | [Preparation]
The cis-form can be prepared by hydrogenation of cis-2-hexenol, using an aqueous suspension of colloidal palladium;
from cis-4-chloro-2-butenol and magnesium ethyl bromide; the commercial product is a mixture of the cis- and trans-isomers and
can be prepared from propyl vinyl carbinol by heating with aluminum oxide. | [Aroma threshold values]
Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: fresh, fatty green, tomato vegetative, with leafy, green fruity and herbal
nuances. | [Taste threshold values]
