The chemical formula is CH 3 -CH 2 -CH=CH-CH 2 CH 2 OH. Another name for 3-hexen-1-ol. It is found in young plant leaves and has the scent of fresh green leaves. It is a colorless liquid with a strong scent similar to isoamyl alcohol, a specific gravity of 0.86, and a boiling point of 157°C. It is slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol, glycol and other organic solvents, and esters, and miscible in oil. Hexenol has cis and trans isomers, which are positional isomers of the double bond, but only leaf alcohol with a cis structure and a double bond in the third position has a strong green leaf scent.
