Natural Product Identification
Common Name(-)-citronellol
DescriptionL-Citronellol, also known as (S)-β-citronellol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenes that do not contain a cycle. Thus, L-citronellol is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. L-Citronellol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. L-Citronellol exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. L-Citronellol is a floral, geranium, and oil tasting compound. Outside of the human body, L-Citronellol has been detected, but not quantified in, herbs and spices. This could make L-citronellol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. L-Citronellol, with regard to humans, has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. (-)-citronellol is found in Acokanthera oblongifolia, Callitropsis nootkatensis, Centaurea benedicta, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, Chamaecyparis obtusa, Citrus aurantium, Citrus unshiu, Citrus wilsonii, Croton malambo, Eremothecium ashbyi, Oenanthe aquatica and Rosa gallica. A citronellol that is oct-6-ene substituted by a hydroxy group at position 1 and methyl groups at positions 3 and 7 (the 3S-enantiomer).
