Basic Info
Cis-3-Hexenyl Butyrate is an organic ester compound with a molecular formula of C₁₀H₁₈O₂. It has a fresh grassy aroma and is often called “grass ester”. This chemical raw material is a colorless to light yellow liquid mainly produced by the esterification reaction of cis-3-hexanol with butyrate. Its aroma resembles fresh plants or green leaves, giving it an important position in the flavor and fragrance industry.
Structurally, the cis-3-hexenyl butyrate molecule contains a hexenyl part with a cis double bond, which gives it a unique grassy smell. Its physical properties are volatile, soluble in organic solvents, and slightly soluble in water, making it suitable for producing flavors and fragrances. As a raw chemical material, cis-3-hexenyl butyrate can not only be used for perfumery but is also widely used in food, daily chemical products, and aromatic products due to its natural green fragrance, which provides a fresh and natural aroma.
