cis-3-Hexen-1-ol, also known as (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol and leaf alcohol, is a colorless oily liquid with an intense grassy-green odor of freshly cut green grass and leaves. It is produced in small amounts by most plants and it acts as an attractant to many predatory insects .
Its scent resembles freshly cut grass, like cis-3-hexenal. [5] It is potentially useful as a natural extract that prevents fruit spoilage. [6] It occurs naturally, and contributes to a hay-like "off-note" flavor in green peas. [7] The first synthesis of hexanal was published in 1907 by P. Bagard. [8]

Many hydroperoxides derived from fatty acids, steroids, and terpenes are also formed via the Schenck ene reaction. For instance, the generation of cis-3-hexenal from linolenic acid: Cis-3-hexenal is generated by conversion of linolenic acid to the hydroperoxide by the action of a lipoxygenase followed by the lyase-induced formation of the ...

The main compound responsible for the smell of freshly cut grass is cis-3-hexenal. It has a low odour detection threshold that humans can perceive at concentrations as low as 0.25 parts per billion. The compound is highly unstable and breaks down into trans-2-hexenal, [2] which may account for why the smell is said to fade rapidly. [3]
