(R)-Citronellal

Description:

(R)-Citronellal is a naturally occurring monoterpenoid aldehyde, primarily derived from citronella oil, which is extracted from various species of lemongrass. It is characterized by its pleasant lemon-like aroma, making it a popular ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and flavoring agents. The compound has a molecular formula of C10H18O and features a chiral center, resulting in its (R)-enantiomer being optically active. (R)-Citronellal is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. Its boiling point is relatively low, typical of many aldehydes, and it exhibits moderate volatility. In addition to its aromatic properties, (R)-Citronellal possesses insect-repellent qualities, which contribute to its use in various pest control formulations. The compound is also studied for its potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it of interest in both the fragrance industry and pharmaceutical research. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it can cause skin irritation in some individuals.
