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.
