Description | Hexyl hexanoate has a herbaceous odor. May be synthesized by
passing n-hexyl alcohol over CuO + UO3 catalyst at 220 - 310°C,
or by treating n-hexyl alcohol with Ca(Br03)2 and diluted aqueous
HBr at 30°C. | Chemical Properties | Hexyl hexanoate has an herbaceous odor
| Chemical Properties | Oily liquid | Occurrence | Reported found in apple, apricot, banana, sweet cherry, orange peel oil, guava, grapes, melon, papaya, strawberry
fruit and jam, tomato, Parmesan cheese, rum, cider, sherry, grape wine, black tea, passion fruit, plum, mushroom, starfruit, quince,
cherimoya, mountain papaya, black choke cherry, spineless monkey orange, Chinese quince peel and hog plum (Spondias mombins L.) | Definition | ChEBI: Hexyl hexanoate is a hexanoate ester obtained by the formal condensation of the carboxy group of hexanoic acid (caproic acid) with hexan-1-ol. It is a constituent found in passion fruit, apples, strawberries and wine. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a volatile oil component, a flavouring agent and a fragrance. It is functionally related to a hexan-1-ol. | Preparation | By passing n-hexyl alcohol over CuO + UO3 catalyst at 220 to 310°C, or by treating n-hexyl alcohol with Ca(BrO3)2 and
diluted aqueous HBr at 30°C | Aroma threshold values | Detection: 6.4 ppm | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 40 ppm: sweet, fruity and green with tropical notes. | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 43, p. 371, 1978 DOI: 10.1021/jo00396a054 | Flammability and Explosibility | Notclassified |
