CITRONELLYL 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.

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.
