Applications
DescriptionHydroxyeitronellol has an odor reminiscent of rose and grape hyacinth. May be prepared by hydrogenation (under pressure in presence of Raney Ni) of 3,7-dimethyl-7-hydroxy-octan-l-al; also in good yields by catalytic hydrogenation (using Raney Ni) of 1.2-epoxy-3,7-dimethyl-octan-7-ol.
OccurrenceReported found in high bush blueberry, grapes, skim milk powder and white wine.
UsesGB 2760—1996 specifies HYDROXYCITRONELLOL as a permitted edible flavoring. It is mainly used in the formulation of cherry and citrus flavorings.
Preparation methods
PreparationBy hydrogenation (under pressure in presence of Raney Ni) of 3,7-dimethyl-7-hydroxy-octan-1-al; also in good yields by catalytic hydrogenation (using Raney Ni) of 1,2-epoxy-3,7-dimethyl-octan-7-ol.
