 | Description | Methyl 2-hexenoate has a green, musty, earthy, sweet, fruity odor 
with a very powerful, sharp, green-fruity flavor. May be prepared 
by boiling the corresponding acid with methanol in the presence 
of concentrated H2S04 in chloroform and subsequent elimination of 
water from the vapors using MgS04; also from 3-chloropropionic 
acid methyl ester and anhydrous sodium acetate in acetic acid. |  | Chemical Properties | Methyl 2-hexenoate has a green, musty, earthy, sweet, fruity odor and a very powerful, sharp, green-fruity flavor |  | Occurrence | Reported found in papaya, peas, soursop and mountain papaya |  | Definition | ChEBI: Methyl 2E-hexenoate is a fatty acid ester. |  | Preparation | By boiling the corresponding acid with methanol in the presence of concentrated H2SO4 in chloroform and subsequent
