Synthesis route :
Geranyl Propionate is an ester synthesized by esterification between propanoic acid and Geraniol (synthesized in several possible ways, see Geraniol). This reaction is catalysed by concentrated sulfuric acid, for example, used here to initiate the reaction.
Synthesis precursor :
Geranyl Propionate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Isomerism :
Neryl Propionate, the diastereoisomer of Geranyl Propionate, is greener and jammy. It is also synthesized in the same way, from Nerol.
Lyral® is a constitutional isomer of the Geranyl Propionate. The smell is however less rosy, although it is also floral.
