Definition
ChEBI: The (E)-isomer of oct-2-enal.
General Description
The rate constant for the gas-phase reaction of the NO(3) radical with
trans-2-octenal was studied using absolute rate method. The fungal volatile organic compound
trans-2-octenal, caused locomotory defects and changes in green fluorescent protein (GFP) and antigen-labeled dopaminergic neurons in adult
Drosophila melanogaster.
Safety Profile
