(S)-Citronellal

Description:

(S)-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 chiral center, resulting in two enantiomers; (S)-citronellal is the specific enantiomer that exhibits the characteristic scent. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The molecular formula of (S)-citronellal is C10H18O, and it has a relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its volatility and fragrance properties. In addition to its aromatic applications, (S)-citronellal possesses potential biological activities, including insect-repellent properties, making it useful in pest control formulations. Its safety profile is generally favorable, although it should be handled with care due to potential skin sensitization in some individuals.

Applications (-)-Citronellal is the s-isomer of (R)-Citronellal (C525025), a natural insect repellant. (-)-Citronellal (a monoterpene) was found to activate human olfactory receptor OR1A2 at the mRNA and protein levels resulting in reduced cell proliferation and reduced hepatocellular carcinoma progression.
