rhodinyl formate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Rhodinyl formate has a rose-like, leafy odor with a bittersweet taste suggestive of cherry

Occurrence

Geranyl and citronellyl formate have been found in geranium essential oil; rhodinyl formate as such has not been reported found in nature.

Uses

Citronellyl formate is used in trace amounts in imitation Raspberry, Apple, Cherry, Plum, Pineapple, Pear, Apricot, Peach, and in Bitter Almond (often along with traces of Bulgarian Rose oil), etc.

Definition

ChEBI: Rhodinyl formate is a carboxylic ester.

Preparation

By treating rhodinol with formic acid; the rhodinol is extracted from geranium essential oil; its composition is dependent on the geraniol–citronellol ratio existing in the rhodinol used for esterification.
