Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Citronellyl Formate us used in rosy, fruity, animalic, woody and leather notes. Often used in functional fragrance because it is very stable.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
The main plant extract in which Citronellyl Formate is found is Geranium EO, as it contains up to 12% (for Chinese geranium). It is therefore possible to obtain it in its natural state from the essential oil of different species of geranium.
Isomerism :
Citronellyl Formate has an asymmetric carbon. It is nevertheless its racemic mixture of isomers that is used in perfumery. Aldehyde C-14 is a constitutional isomer of Citronellyl Formate. However, both do not share the same smell, as Aldehyde C-14 is fruity-peach.
Synthesis precursor :
Citronellyl Formate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Citronellyl Formate is obtained by an acid esterification between formic acid (or methanoic) and Citronellol.
