(E)-3-Hexenyl acetate is an organic compound classified as an ester, specifically derived from hexenoic acid and ethanol. It is characterized by its pleasant, fruity aroma, often associated with green apple or fresh-cut grass, making it a popular choice in the flavor and fragrance industries. The compound has a molecular formula of C8H14O2 and features a double bond in its carbon chain, which contributes to its reactivity and distinctive scent. (E)-3-Hexenyl acetate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. Its boiling point and volatility make it suitable for use in various applications, including food flavoring, perfumes, and as a potential attractant in pest control. Additionally, it can be synthesized through the reaction of (E)-3-hexenal with acetic acid or acetic anhydride. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water or acids, reverting to its constituent alcohol and acid.
