| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Colorless liquid. Very slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. | [Uses]
3-Methyl-3-penten-1-ol has been suggested for use in perfume compositions, originally as part of the earthy-green complex of Geranium oil (artificial). However, it does not seem to lend the same natural tonalities as those obtained with 2-HexenoI or 3-Hexenol. The alcohol is still used to a minor extent in certain top notes and it performs quite pleasantly with Galbanum and the Methyl phenyl carbinyl esters.
| [Preparation]
3-Methyl-3-penten-1-ol is produced from Acetylene via Methylpentynol, followed by hydrogenation (Hoffmann-LaRoche).
