Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Hexanol
Description3-Hexanol, also known as fema 3351 or 3-hexyl alcohol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as secondary alcohols. Secondary alcohols are compounds containing a secondary alcohol functional group, with the general structure HOC(R)(R') (R,R'=alkyl, aryl). 3-Hexanol is an alcoholic, ether, and medicinal tasting compound. 3-Hexanol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within safflowers. 3-Hexanol has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as green bell peppers, orange bell peppers, pepper (c. annuum), red bell peppers, and yellow bell peppers.
