Name1-Hexanol
SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBrewer's yeast
Description1-Hexanol is an organic alcohol with a six carbon chain and a condensed structural formula of CH3(CH2)5OH. This colorless liquid is slightly soluble in water, but miscible with ether and ethanol. Two additional straight chain isomers of 1-hexanol exist, 2-hexanol and 3-hexanol, both of which differ by the location of the hydroxyl group. Many isomeric alcohols have the formula C6H13OH. 1-Hexanol is an alcohol extracted from yeast and produced during fermentation of alcoholic beverages.
