Description

2-Hexen-1-yl acetate has a pleasant, fruity odor and corresponding taste. clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid (E)-2-Hexenyl Acetate occurs in many fruits and in some essential oils, for example, peppermint. It is a fresh, fruity, slightly green-smelling liquid and is used in fruit flavors.


Colourless to pale yellow liquid; Powerful green, fruity aroma


(E)-hex-2-enyl acetate is an acetate ester resulting from the formal condensation of the hydroxy group of (E)-hex-2-en-1-ol with the carboxy group of acetic acid. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a flavouring agent. It is an acetate ester and an olefinic compound. It derives from an (E)-hex-2-en-1-ol.
