General description

4-Hexen-3-one is an unsaturated aldehyde that is reported to occur in strawberry fruit, essential oil of Ruta graveolens and Holigarna grahamii leaves. Due to its fruity fragrance, it is also used in the perfume industry.

Application


  • Key lime (Citrus aurantifolia) inhibits the growth of triple drug resistant Helicobacter pylori.: Explores the antibacterial properties of key lime, potentially including volatile components like 4-Hexen-3-one, highlighting its relevance in medical microbiology and the development of alternative therapeutic agents (Lee et al., 2018).

  • Chemical composition of hexane extract of Citrus aurantifolia and anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis activity of some of its constituents.: Investigates the components of Citrus aurantifolia hexane extract, including the role of 4-Hexen-3-one in combating Mycobacterium tuberculosis, demonstrating the potential of natural products in treating infectious diseases (Sandoval-Montemayor et al., 2012).

  • Kinetic investigation of the OH radical and Cl atom initiated degradation of unsaturated ketones at atmospheric pressure and 298 K.: This study examines the reactivity of atmospheric ketones including 4-Hexen-3-one with OH radicals and Cl atoms, providing valuable data for understanding their fate in the atmosphere (Blanco et al., 2012).

Odor perception allows animals to distinguish odors, recognize the same odor across concentrations, and determine concentration changes. How the activity patterns of primary olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), at the individual and population levels, facilitate distinguishing these functions remains poorly understood. Here, we
