Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Natural availability :

Allyl Caproate is present in pineapple and mushroom. There is also an Allyl Caproate of natural origin.

Isomerism :

Isoamyl Butyrate and gamma-Nonalactone are constitutional isomers of Allyl Caproate. Isoamyl Butyrate also has a fruity and butyric smell, but gamma-Nonalactone has a very different note of peach and coconut.

Synthesis precursor :

Allyl Caproate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.

Synthesis route :

Allyl Caproate is prepared by esterification between Hexanoic acid and allylic alcohol (or prop-2-en-1-ol), by acid catalysis.

Stability :

May form caproic acid through time
