. A colorless fragrant liquid, it is classified as a ketone. It is one of three octanones, the others being 2-octanone and 4-octanone.

Occurrence

3-Octanone is found in a variety of sources such as plants (such as lavender),[3] herbs (such as rosemary,[4] basil, and thyme[5]), and nectarines.[6] It was also found to be present in Japanese catnip (Schizonepeta tenuifolia)[7] and the pine king bolete (Boletus pinophilus).[8] It is produced by oyster mushrooms as an insecticide to kill roundworms.[9][10][11]

Uses

3-Octanone is used as a flavor and fragrance ingredient.[12][13][14]
