Cis-3-Hexen-1-ol
chemical compound
cis-3-Hexen-1-ol, also known as (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol and leaf alcohol, is a colorless oily liquid with an intense grassy-green odor of freshly cut green grass and leaves. It is produced in small amounts by most plants and it acts as an attractant to many predatory insects. It is prized for its intensely fresh, green, and natural character. And it is essential for creating authentic fruit, vegetable, and herbal flavour profiles. In fragrance formulation, cis-3-hexen-1-ol is essential for creating green, fresh, and outdoor-inspired scents, appearing in iconic perfumes such as Chanel No. 19 and Cristalle.
It has been evaluated by FDA, JECFA and International Fragrance Association. The global production volume is about 3000 tonnes. Major cis-3-hexenol manufacturers include ZEON, NHU, and some Chinese companies like Sinofi. Its esters are also important flavor and fragrance raw materials.

Why this record matters
The phrase “chemical compound” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q300850. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
