Hexanol is a higher alcohol with a six carbon atoms and a general formula of C₆H₁₄O, but often written C₆H₁₃OH to significate that it's an alcohol. It's the stuff that gives freshly mowed grass its smell. It has three isomers with the names hexan-1-ol, hexan-2-ol or hexan-3-ol, depending on how far from the end of the carbon chain the -OH group is located. Below is the structure of hexan-1-ol.
