Geranyl isovalerate

Description:
Geranyl isovalerate is an ester formed from geraniol and isovaleric acid. It is characterized by its pleasant floral aroma, making it a compound of interest in the fragrance and flavor industries. The molecular structure features a geranyl group, which is a monoterpene, contributing to its aromatic properties, and an isovalerate moiety, which adds a fruity note. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in organic solvents. Geranyl isovalerate is known for its stability under normal conditions, although it may be sensitive to extreme temperatures and light. Its applications extend beyond perfumery to include potential uses in food flavoring and as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation. Overall, geranyl isovalerate exemplifies the diverse roles that esters play in both natural and synthetic chemistry.
