| Genet absolute | 3 |
Isomerism :
The (R) enantiomer of 1,3-Octenol is more powerful than the (S) enantiomer, which has a vegetable smell. In perfumery, the mixture both isomers is the most used.
Synthesis precursor :
1,3-Octenol is a precursor for the synthesis of esters obtained by reaction between this alcohol and a carboxylic acid.
Synthesis route :
1,3-Octenol can be obtained by a Grignard reaction reacting vinylmagnesium bromide with hexanal.
Stability :
Stable in acidic products, but not so much in alkaline bleaches or detergents.
Other comments :
Data not available.
