:Citronellal dimethyl acetal
Description:
Citronellal dimethyl acetal, with the CAS number 923-69-3, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of acetals. It is derived from citronellal, a natural monoterpenoid found in various essential oils, particularly those of citronella and lemongrass. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, citrus-like odor, making it useful in the fragrance and flavor industries. Citronellal dimethyl acetal is characterized by its relatively low volatility and moderate solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. It is stable under normal conditions but can hydrolyze in the presence of moisture, reverting to its parent aldehyde. The compound is often utilized for its aromatic properties in perfumes and as a flavoring agent in food products. Additionally, it may have applications in the synthesis of other chemical compounds due to its reactive acetal functional group. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
