Chemistry & Uses

Uses in perfumery :

1,3-Octenol is used mainly in mushroom, lavender, woody and foody notes.

Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Natural availability :

The (R) enantiomer of 1,3-Octenol is present at 97% in the aromatic principle of mushrooms and 89% in the chanterelles aromatic principle. Nevertheless, 1,3-Octenol is not extracted in its natural state.

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.
