3-OCTANOL Usage And Synthesis
Description3-Octanol has a sweet, nutty, warm, herbaceous odor. Can be prepared in the racemic form by reduction of ethyl-n-amyl ketone with sodium in ether solution.
Chemical Properties3-Octanol has a sweet, oily, nutty, warm, herbaceous odor.
Chemical PropertiesClear colorless liquid
Chemical Properties3-Octanol may occur in its optically active form. It is a colorless liquid that has a mushroomy–earthy odor and occurs in mushrooms. 3-Octanol can be obtained by hydrogenation of 3-octanone; it is used in lavender compositions and for impartingmushroom-like odors.
OccurrenceIt has been identified (free and esterified) in a variety of mint; also reported in lavender and the essential oils of Mentha arvenis var. piperascens and Mentha spicata. Also reported found in apple, banana, cranberry, grapes, papaya, strawberry, sourcherry, lemon, blackberry, Swiss cheese, pork, peas, potato, ginger, Mentha oils, thyme, fish, fried beef, cognac, rum, grape wines, coffee, tea, oats, soybean, mushroom, sweet marjoram, kelp, buckwheat, lemon balm, dried bonito, truffle, passionfruit and pepino fruit (Solanum muricatum).
Uses3-Octanol is a liquid produced by hydrogenation of ethyl namyl ketone. It is used in fragrances and as an artificial flavoring in foods.
Uses3-Octanol was used as reference compound in detection of volatile metabolites from five fungal species cultivated on two media.
Uses3-Octanol may be used as a reference standard in the determination of the analyte in herb plants using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
PreparationCan be prepared in the racemic form by reduction of ethyl-n-amyl ketone with sodium in ether solution.
Aroma threshold valuesDetection: 18 to 250 ppb. Aroma characteristics at 5.0%: earthy, mushroom, diry, musty, creamy, waxy with a slight fermented green minty nuance.
Taste threshold valuesTaste characteristics at 5 ppm: musty, mushroom, earthy, creamy dairy, dirty with an herbal, minty nuance.
General DescriptionInfluence of environment of the TiO2 photocatalyst on the rate of photocatalytic oxidation of liquid 3-octanol has been investigated.
Flammability and ExplosibilityNotclassified
Biochem/physiol ActionsTaste at 10 ppm
Safety ProfileA moderate skin and eye irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
