Citronellyl butyrate

Description:
Citronellyl butyrate is an ester formed from citronellol and butyric acid, characterized by its pleasant, fruity aroma, often reminiscent of citrus and floral notes. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. This compound is primarily used in the fragrance industry, where it serves as a flavoring agent and scent component in perfumes, cosmetics, and food products. Citronellyl butyrate is known for its stability under normal conditions, making it suitable for various applications. Additionally, it exhibits low toxicity, which contributes to its safety profile in consumer products. Its chemical structure includes a long hydrocarbon chain, which enhances its volatility and aroma characteristics. As with many esters, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, leading to the release of its constituent alcohol and acid. Overall, citronellyl butyrate is valued for its sensory properties and versatility in formulation.
