It is contained in human breath and sweat, and it was once believed that insect repellent DEET works by blocking the insects' octenol odorant receptors.〔 〕 1-Octen-3-ol is a secondary alcohol derived from 1-octene. It exists in the form of two enantiomers, (''R'')-(–)-1-octen-3-ol and (''S'')-(+)-1-octen-3-ol. == Natural occurrence== Octenol is produced by several plants and fungi, including edible mushrooms and Lemon balm.
