Introduction
cis-3-Octen-1-olProperties: cis-3-Octen-1-ol is a colorless liquid that is soluble in most organic solvents. It has a strong odor reminiscent of low-carbon compounds, fruits, and aroma. It is prone to oxidation at room temperature and can react with strong oxidizing agents.Uses: cis-3-Octen-1-ol has a variety of applications. It also possesses antioxidant properties and can be used as a stabilizer for certain fats and oils. Additionally, it is used in the preparation of other organic compounds, such as ethers and esters.Preparation: cis-3-Octen-1-ol is typically synthesized through various methods. One common method involves a redox reaction with octanal. Octanal is first reduced to octanol through a reaction with hydrogen and a catalyst, and then the octanol is oxidized to produce cis-3-octen-1-ol.Safety Information: cis-3-Octen-1-ol is generally considered harmless to humans under normal conditions. However, ingestion or excessive inhalation may cause discomfort, such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. When using or handling it, appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn to avoid contact with skin and eyes, and it should be used in a well-ventilated work area.
Application
(3Z)-3-Octen-1-ol (CAS 20125-84-2), also known as cis-3-octen-1-ol, is a natural unsaturated fatty alcohol with a powerful, fresh green, leafy, and slightly cucumber-like aroma. It occurs naturally in essential oils of plants like jasmine, violet, and tomato leaves. This compound is highly valued in the flavor and fragrance industry as a key green note modifier, adding natural freshness to perfumes, colognes, shampoos, and soaps. In food flavors, it imparts a realistic leafy, vegetable-like character to beverages, confectionery, dairy products, and savory snacks (FEMA 4495). It is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other aroma chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. The high-purity grade is essential for creating sophisticated olfactory profiles.
