Other names :
Pipol Benzoate ; Hex-3-enyl benzoate ; Hex-3-en-1-yl benzoate
Volatility :
Head/Heart
Uses in perfumery :
Cis-3-Hexenyl Benzoate is used in floral fragrances, in white flowers accords (jasmine, ylang-ylang), floral-green, fresh notes. Also used in pear and apple notes to bring a floral facet, quite fat and juicy. Used in jasmine or gardenia floral accords, for example, to add naturalness (flower stalk effect). Also used in fruity notes. Mainly used in fine fragrance.
Natural availability :
Cis-3-Hexenyl Benzoate is present in Grandiflorum Jasmine Absolute in particular, from which it can be extracted in its natural state by fractional distillation. Also present in Sambac Jasmine Absolute.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Other comments :
Compared with Cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate, the latter is more likely to be a reference for a solar and green note for perfumes, as Cis-3-Hexenyl Benzoate also has a leather undernote.

Synthesis route :
Cis-3-Hexenyl Benzoate results from the esterification reaction between benzoic acid and cis-3-Hexenol, by acid catalysis.
Synthesis precursor :
Cis-3-hexenyl benzoate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Isomerism :
The use of trans-3-Hexenol for the synthesis of trans-3-Hexenyl Benzoate leads to a product with similar olfactory characteristics, but it is much less used in perfumery than cis-3-Hexenyl Benzoate. Moreover, cis-3-Hexenyl Benzoate always contains a trace of trans-3-Hexenyl Benzoate.
