NERYL ACETATE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Neryl acetate has a very sweet, floral, orange-blossom and roselike odor. It is initially fresh and pungent, and then a honey-like flavor with a raspberry undertone. Neryl acetate may be prepared by esterification of nerol with acetic acid; also prepared from myrcene by hydrobromination and esterification.

Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLOURLESS TO SLIGHTLY YELLOWISH LIQUID

Chemical Properties

is the (Z)- isomer of geranyl acetate. It is present in helichrysum oil and has also been identified in, among others, neroli oil and petitgrain oil Bigarade. It is a colorless, floral, sweet-smelling liquid and is used in perfumery for blossom compositions (e.g., orange blossom and jasmine).

Occurrence

Reported found in the essential oils of lemon, neroli, and petitgrain bigarade, in sweet and bitter orange, lemon, grapefruit, lime, black currants, grapes, celery, ginger, Mentha oils, nutmeg, thyme, hop oil, white wine, cocoa, tea, passion fruit, sweet marjoram, cardamom, lovage leaf, myrtle leaf and berry, buchu oil, lemon balm, clary sage, eucalyptus oil and mastic gum leaf oil

Preparation

By esterification of nerol with acetic acid; also prepared from myrcene by hydrobromination and esterification.

Definition

ChEBI: Neryl acetate is an acetate ester resulting from the formal condensation of the hydroxy group of nerol with the carboxy group of acetic acid. It has a role as a volatile oil component, a fragrance and a plant metabolite. It is an acetate ester, a monoterpenoid and an olefinic compound. It is functionally related to a nerol.

Aroma threshold values
