hydroxycitronellal Usage And Synthesis

Description	Hydroxycitronellal has an intense, sweet, floral, lily-type odor. It may be prepared by hydration of natural citronellal obtained from Java citronella or from Eucalyptus citriodora; P-pinene is converted to myrcene, which on hydration may yield either linalool or a mixture of geranoil and nerol; the latter mixture can be hydrogenated to citronellol and subsequently converted to citronellal and hydroxycitronellal; also by hydrogenation of 3,7-dimethyl- 7-hydroxy-2-octen-2-al over palladium carbon in ethyl acetate solution.
Chemical Properties	Hydroxycitronellal has a sweet, floral, lily-type odor
Chemical Properties	clear colourless liquid
Chemical Properties	This is a colorless, slightly viscous liquid with a floral odor reminiscent of linden blossom and lily of the valley. Commercially available “hydroxycitronellal” is either optically active or racemic, depending on the starting material used. Hydroxydihydrocitronellal prepared from (+)-citronellal, for example, has a specific relation α20 D +9 to +10°. Hydroxydihydrocitronellal is relatively unstable toward acid and alkali and is, therefore, sometimes converted into more alkali-resistant acetals, particularly its dimethyl acetal. Because of its fine, floral odor, hydroxydihydrocitronellal is used in large quantities in many perfume compositions for creating linden blossom and lily of the valley notes. It is also used in other blossom fragrances such as honeysuckle, lily, and cyclamen.
Definition	ChEBI: The tertiary alcohol arising from addition of water across the C2C double bond of citronellal.
Taste threshold values	Taste characteristics at 50 ppm: sweet, waxy, green, floral and melon notes.
Trade name	Laurinal® (Takasago).
Contact allergens	Hydroxycitronellal is a classical fragrance allergen, found in many products. It is contained in “fragrance mix.” It has to be listed by name in the cosmetics of the EU.
Safety Profile	A skin irritant. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ALDEHYDES.
Chemical Synthesis	By hydration of natural citronellal obtained from Java citronella or from Eucalyptus citriodora; β-pinene is converted to myrcene, which on hydration may yield either linalool or mixture of geranoil and nerol; the latter mixture can be hydrogenated to citronellol and subsequently converted to citronellal and hydroxycitronellal; also by hydrogenation of 3,7-dimethyl-7-hydroxy-2- octen-2-al over palladium carbon in ethyl acetate solution.
