:

Geranyl formate

Description:
Geranyl formate, with the CAS number 105-86-2, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is formed from the reaction of geraniol, a monoterpenoid alcohol, and formic acid. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity aroma, making it useful in the flavor and fragrance industries. Geranyl formate is known for its low volatility and relatively high stability under normal conditions. It has a moderate solubility in water but is more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The compound is often utilized in perfumery and as a flavoring agent due to its sweet, floral scent reminiscent of geraniums. Additionally, geranyl formate may exhibit some biological activity, although specific applications in pharmaceuticals or agriculture are less common. As with many esters, it is important to handle geranyl formate with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
