The characteristic grassy aroma of freshly cut grass is largely due to hexanal.

The distinctive green odor of freshly cut grass is partly due to hexanals released when plants are damaged.

The lab manager reminded everyone that hexane should be handled in a fume hood because it is a volatile, flammable solvent.

The chemist compared the boiling points of different hexanes to confirm their identities.

We used n-hexane as the solvent to extract the nonpolar compounds from the sample.

Researchers identified hexanaldehyde as a volatile compound responsible for the green, grassy odor emitted by damaged plant tissues.
