What is NERYL ACETATE?

Description

Neryl acetate has a very sweet, floral, orange-blossom and roselike odor. It is initially fresh and pungent, and then a honey-like flavor with a raspberry undertone. Neryl acetate may be prepared by esterification of nerol with acetic acid; also prepared from myrcene by hydrobromination and esterification.

Chemical properties

CLEAR COLOURLESS TO SLIGHTLY YELLOWISH LIQUID

Chemical properties

is the (Z)- isomer of geranyl acetate. It is present in helichrysum oil and has also been identified in, among others, neroli oil and petitgrain oil Bigarade. It is a colorless, floral, sweet-smelling liquid and is used in perfumery for blossom compositions (e.g., orange blossom and jasmine).

Preparation

By esterification of nerol with acetic acid; also prepared from myrcene by hydrobromination and esterification.

Definition

ChEBI: Neryl acetate is an acetate ester resulting from the formal condensation of the hydroxy group of nerol with the carboxy group of acetic acid. It has a role as a volatile oil component, a fragrance and a plant metabolite. It is an acetate ester, a monoterpenoid and an olefinic compound. It is functionally related to a nerol.
