CAS 105-90-8
:Geranyl propionate
Description:
Geranyl propionate is an organic compound classified as an ester, formed from the reaction of geraniol and propionic acid. It is characterized by its pleasant floral and fruity aroma, making it a popular choice in the fragrance and flavoring industries. The compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its low volatility. Geranyl propionate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its molecular structure features a geranyl group, which contributes to its aromatic properties, and a propionate moiety, which influences its reactivity and stability. This substance is often used in perfumes, cosmetics, and food products due to its appealing scent profile. Additionally, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in various applications beyond fragrance. As with many esters, geranyl propionate can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its parent alcohol and acid. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
