Utilisation

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.
