描述
Trans-3-hexen-1-ol, also known as 3-hexen-1-ol, (E)-isomer or cis-3-hexenol, is a member of the class of compounds known as fatty alcohols. Fatty alcohols are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms. Thus, trans-3-hexen-1-ol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. Trans-3-hexen-1-ol is soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Trans-3-hexen-1-ol can be found in corn, spearmint, watermelon, and wild celery, which makes trans-3-hexen-1-ol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Trans-3-hexen-1-ol may be a unique S.cerevisiae (yeast) metabolite.
