GERANYL CROTONATE Usage And Synthesis
Occurrence
Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature
Uses
Although only rarely offered commercially, Geranyl crotonate should have good possibilities in artificial Geranium and, in general, in perfumes of herbaceous-floral, sweet character. Yet, the ester blends excellently with woody odours, Clary Sage and Lavender, etc. Furthermore, it is an excellent extender for Zdravetz oil in rare cases where this oil is used, and its notes should be modified.
Preparation
By esterification of geraniol with crotonyl chloride.
