ChEBI: 2-penten-1-ol is a primary allylic alcohol that is 2-pentene in which a hydrogen at position 1 has been replaced by a hydroxy group. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a volatile oil component. It is a primary allylic alcohol and an alkenyl alcohol.

trans-2-Penten-1-ol is an allyl alcohol. It is one of the volatile compounds found in olive oil, cashew apple juice and fermented cucumber brines. The rate constants and product ion distributions of its reaction with H₃O⁺, NO⁺ and O₂^.+ ions have been studied using selected ion flow tube (SIFT).
