| 1-octen-3-ol | 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 is a major volatile compound present in many mushrooms and fungi. | oct-1-en-3-ol |
| 3-octanone | A dialkyl ketone that is octane in which the two methylene protons at position 3 have been replaced by an oxo group. | 3-octanone |
| caryophyllene | A beta-caryophyllene in which the stereocentre adjacent to the exocyclic double bond has S configuration while the remaining stereocentre has R configuration. It is the most commonly occurring form of beta-caryophyllene, occurring in many essential oils, particularly oil of cloves. | (-)-beta-caryophyllene |
| dodecanol | A primary alcohol that is dodecane in which a hydrogen from one of the methyl groups is replaced by a hydroxy group. It is registered for use in apple and pear orchards as a Lepidopteran pheromone/sex attractant, used to disrupt the mating behaviour of certain moths whose larvae destroy crops. | dodecan-1-ol |
| estragole | A phenylpropanoid that is chavicol in which the hydroxy group is replaced by a methoxy group. | estragole |
| methyl benzoate | A benzoate ester obtained by condensation of benzoic acid and methanol. | methyl benzoate |
| methyl linolenate | A fatty acid methyl ester derived from alpha-linolenic acid. | methyl linolenate |
| methyl salicylate | A benzoate ester that is the methyl ester of salicylic acid. | methyl salicylate |
| trimethyl phosphate | A trialkyl phosphate that is the trimethyl ester of phosphoric acid. | trimethyl phosphate |
