Natural Product Identification
Common Name(2z)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl hexanoate
DescriptionGeranyl hexanoate, also known as fema 2515 or geranyl caproate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohol esters. These are ester derivatives of a fatty alcohol. Geranyl hexanoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Geranyl hexanoate is a fruity, geranium, and rose tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Geranyl hexanoate has been detected, but not quantified in, citrus and fruits. (2z)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl hexanoate is found in Schinus molle. This could make geranyl hexanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
