Description

Tetrahydrogeraniol has been identified in citrus oils and is a colorless liquid with a waxy, rose-petal-like odor. It is prepared by hydrogenation of geraniol or citronellol in the presence of a nickel catalyst and is a by-product in the synthesis of citronellol from geraniol or nerol. Because of its stability, it is often used to perfume household products. 3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol has a sweet, rosy odor and bitter tas Clear colorless liquid
