Application

(S)-1-Octen-3-ol can be used:
  • As an odorant in the study of an olfactory sensory map of the Anopheles gambiae maxillary palp.
  • As an intermediate in the synthesis of natural product polyporolide and a prostaglandin named 8-aza-prostaglandin E1.
  • As a substrate in the preparation of trienols by reacting with 1-iodo-1,3-dienes using Pd(OAc)2/AgOAc.

Enantiomers differ only in the left or right handedness (chirality) of their orientations and exhibit identical chemical and physical properties. In chemical communication systems, enantiomers can be differentially active at the physiological and behavioral levels. Only recently were enantioselective odorant

The stereoselective synthesis of conjugated trienes has been achieved from allylic alcohols and 1-iodo-1,3-dienes using Pd(OAc)(2)/AgOAc.

PloS one, 6(6), e21785-e21785 (2011-07-09)
1-Octen-3-ol (octenol) is a common attractant released by vertebrates which in combination with carbon dioxide (CO(2)) attracts hematophagous arthropods including mosquitoes. A receptor neuron contained within basiconic sensilla on the maxillary palps of adult mosquitoes responds selectively to 1-octen-3-ol. Recently
