Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name(R)-1-Octen-3-ol
Description(R)-1-Octen-3-ol, also known as octenol, 1-vinylhexanol or mushroom alcohol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohols. These are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms. (R)-1-Octen-3-ol is a neutral compound. (R)-1-Octen-3-ol is an alkenyl alcohol with a structure based on a C8 unbranched chain with the hydroxy group at C-2 and unsaturation at C-1-C-2. It has been isolated from a few essential oils such as those from lavender, leek, mint and mushrooms. Octenol is named “mushroom alcohol” because is the main flavour component of mushrooms. (R)-1-Octen-3-ol is a naturally occurring organic compound found in several plants including cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645 ). Octenol is formed during the oxidative breakdown of linoleic acid. Octenol attracts biting insects, including mosquitoes. It is believed that some repellents, such as DEET, act by blocking the electrophysiological responses of octenol to the olfactory co-receptor (OR83b or ORCO), an olfactory receptor complex found in highly divergent insect populations (PMID: 18339904 , PMID: 18711137 ).
