CAS 10281-55-7

1,6-Octadiene, 3,7-dimethyl-, (S)-

Description:

1,6-Octadiene, 3,7-dimethyl-, (S)-, with the CAS number 10281-55-7, is a chiral organic compound characterized by its double bonds and specific stereochemistry. It features a linear carbon chain with a total of eight carbon atoms and two double bonds located at the first and sixth positions, contributing to its classification as a diene. The presence of methyl groups at the third and seventh positions adds to its complexity and influences its reactivity and physical properties. As a chiral molecule, it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the (S)- configuration being one of them, which can have implications in biological activity and interactions. This compound is typically colorless and may have a characteristic odor, common to many hydrocarbons. Its applications can range from use in organic synthesis to potential roles in the production of specialty chemicals or as intermediates in various chemical processes. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with many unsaturated hydrocarbons, it may pose flammability risks.

Formula: C₁₀H₁₈

(+)-β-Citronellene

CAS: 10281-55-7

(+) -β-Citronellene is an oxygenated terpene with a pleasant odor. It is often used in the production of perfume, soap, and insect repellents. (+)-β-Citronellene can be synthesized from the reaction of metathesis reactions between fatty acids and ruthenium complex or from phase chromatography. This process produces two reaction intermediates: chloride and hydroxyl group. The hydration step occurs when (+)-β-citronellene reacts with ethanol to produce esters compounds that are asymmetrically synthesized.
