The Uses of 3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadienenitrile

Geranyl Nitrite, is a substituted terpenoid odorant with a fruity odor quality. It is one of the most potent cyclase stimulators.

What are the applications of Application

3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadienenitrile is a substituted terpenoid odorant

Preparation

From geranialoxime with acetic anhydride (Arctander. 1969).

Production Methods

3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadienenitrile can be produced from: 1) Geranialoxime with Acetic anhydride. 2) Geranyl chloride and Sodium cyanide.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Metabolism

The toxicity of organic cyanides appears to depend, in almost every case, on whether they can be metabolized in the body to the free cyanide ion, CN~, and on the rate and extent of this conversion and the rate of detoxication of cyanide to thiocyanate. Alkyl cyanides appear to be metabolized in the body chiefly by formation of hydrogen cyanide plus the acid with one less carbon atom (Williams, 1959).
