Utilisation

Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Cis-3-Hexenol gives a head to floral and fruity notes. Used for the reconstitution of cut grass notes, usable in all types of perfumes.

Year of discovery :

1938

Natural availability :

Cis-3-Hexenol is present in grass, leaves, fruits (not ripe), apple and Lemongrass EO among others. It can be extracted from many plants. For example, acacia or white mulberry leaves contain more than 50% of this compound.

Isomerism :

Cis-3-Hexenol has a double bond that gives rise to two diastereoisomers of this molecule. Thus, there is trans-3-Hexenol, which has a more floral and petal smell. Trans-2-Hexenol is a positional isomer of cis-3-Hexenol because its double bond is simply delocalized. Both have a very green smell, although trans-2-Hexenol is fruty.

Synthesis precursor :

Cis-3-Hexenol is a precursor for the synthesis of several compounds of olfactory interest. For example, several of its esters such as cis-3-Hexenyl acetate or cis-3-Hexenyl Benzoate are obtained by esterification with the suitable acid, in the presence of an acid catalyst.

Synthesis route :

A synthesis of cis-3-Hexenol consists of three steps. The first one is an ethylation reaction of sodium ethylide into butyne. Then, a reaction with ethylene oxide gives 3-Hexyn-1-ol. This intermediate product is subjected to a hydrogenation reaction, catalysed by palladium. Nowadays, several biochemical synthesis processes gradually replace the organic synthesis processes.
