A 3D molecular model of octenol, also known as 1-Octen-3-ol or "mushroom alcohol." Octenol is a chemical found in human breath and sweat, plants, and fugi, which attracts biting insects such as mosquitos. Octenol is formed during the breakdown of linoleic acid. Atoms are colored dark gray (carbon), light gray (hydrogen), and red (oxygen).
