Geranylacetone

Description:
Geranylacetone, with the CAS number 3796-70-1, is an organic compound classified as a terpene ketone. It is characterized by its pleasant floral and fruity aroma, making it valuable in the fragrance and flavor industries. The molecular structure of geranylacetone features a geranyl group, which is a common terpene moiety, linked to an acetone functional group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its relatively low volatility compared to other terpenes. Geranylacetone is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is often used in perfumes, cosmetics, and food flavoring due to its aromatic properties. Additionally, geranylacetone may exhibit biological activities, including potential antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, although further research is needed to fully understand its effects. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and safety precautions are essential, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled in significant quantities.
