Synthesis precursor :
Trans-2-Hexenol is a precursor to the synthesis of trans-2-Hexenyl acetate and other esters made from this alcohol.
Isomerism :
Trans-2-Hexenol has a more fruity, apple-like smell than cis-3-Hexenol, which is purely green. This is why it is more often used in fruity accords than cis-3-Hexenol, that is used in flowery accords. Cis-2-Hexenol has a very green smell and also more fruity than cis-3-Hexenol.
