Citronellyl caproate (Citronellyl hexanoate) is a colorless liquid, insoluble in water, soluble in
alcohol and perfume oils. Sp.Gr. 0.88.
B.P. 240℃. Delicately floral, pronounced fruity (Apple-Pear-Pineapple notes) and somewhat rosy
odor of fair tenacity. The taste is not too attractive, since the
bitterness of the Citronellol component seems
to come through. | [Uses]
Citronellyl caproate is occasionally used in perfume compositions
as a modifier for lower esters of Citronellol,
and in certain mild-floral fragrance types,
Peony, Freesia, Sweet Pea, etc. It is also
interesting in lipstick perfumes where the
conventional Ionone-fruitiness certainly needs
some renewal in notes. | [Definition]
ChEBI:Citronellyl hexanoate is a carboxylic ester. | [Preparation]
By direct esterification of Citronellol
with Caproic acid under azeotropic conditions. |
