8,8-Dimethoxy-2,6-dimethyloctan-2-ol Usage And Synthesis

Description

Hydroxycitronellal dimethyl acetal has a light, green, flowery odor similar to hydroxycitronellal. This substance is usually prepared from hydroxycitronellal and methyl alcohol in the presence of a catalyst.

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid; light floral odor.Soluble in most fixed oils, mineral oil, and propylene glycol; insoluble in glycerol. Combustible.

Chemical Properties

Hydroxydihydrocitronellal Dimethyl Acetal is a colorless liquid with a weak, floral odor. Since the acetal is stable to alkali, it is used occasionally in soap perfumes.
