cis-3-Hexen-1-ol(Cat No.: R044267), also known as leaf alcohol, is a naturally occurring unsaturated alcohol with a distinctive fresh, green, grassy aroma. It is commonly found in the essential oils of plants and is a major component of the “green odor” released when vegetation is damaged. Widely used in the flavor and fragrance industries, it imparts natural, leafy notes to perfumes, cosmetics, and food products. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis and aroma compound development. For regulated industrial and research use.
