5-Hexenyl acetate is an organic compound classified as an ester, specifically derived from hexenoic acid and ethanol. It is characterized by its molecular formula, which typically consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. This compound is known for its pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in the flavor and fragrance industries. 5-Hexenyl acetate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is relatively volatile and has a low boiling point. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound can be synthesized through the esterification reaction between 5-hexenoic acid and ethanol, often in the presence of an acid catalyst.
