General description

trans-2-Penten-1-ol is an allyl alcohol. It is one of the volatile compounds found in olive oil, cashew apple juice and fermented cucumber brines. The rate constants and product ion distributions of its reaction with H3O+, NO+ and O2.+ ions have been studied using selected ion flow tube (SIFT).

Application

trans-2-Penten-1-ol may be used in the synthesis of the following:
  • leustroducsin B
  • trichloroacetimidate
  • (E)-2,3,3′-trifluoro-4-(2-(trans-4-pentylcyclohexyl)ethyl)-4′-(pent-2-enyloxy)biphenyl
  • trans-1-bromo-2-pentene
  • trans-1-chloro-2-pentene
