CAS 51-77-4: trans-3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl 5,9,13-trimethyl-4,8,12-tetradecatrienoate
Description:Trans-3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl 5,9,13-trimethyl-4,8,12-tetradecatrienoate, commonly known as "Geranyl acetate," is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is characterized by its pleasant, fruity aroma, making it a popular ingredient in perfumes and flavorings. The molecular structure features a long carbon chain with multiple double bonds, contributing to its reactivity and stability under certain conditions. Geranyl acetate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid, with a relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in organic solvents. It is known for its role in the fragrance industry and is also used in food flavoring due to its natural occurrence in various essential oils. Additionally, it exhibits some antimicrobial properties, which can be beneficial in certain applications. As with many esters, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its constituent alcohol and acid. Safety data indicates that while it is generally recognized as safe in low concentrations, it should be handled with care to avoid potential irritation.
