Hydroxyeitronellol 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.
Hydroxycitronellol has an odor reminiscent of rose and grape hyacinth.
Reported found in high bush blueberry, grapes, skim milk powder and white wine.
By 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.
ChEBI: Hydroxycitronellol is an aliphatic alcohol.
