Natural Product Identification
Common Namegeranyl formate
Description(E)-geranyl formate, also known as geranyl methanoate or geraniol formic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohol esters. geranyl formate is found in Citrus aurantium, Cleistopholis patens, Cryptomeria japonica, Daphne papyracea, Elsholtzia ciliata, Hamamelis virginiana, Helichrysum italicum, Lantana strigocamara, Pelargonium citronellum, Pelargonium graveolens, Pelargonium quercifolium, Rhododendron groenlandicum, Salvia sclarea and Vaccinium ashei. geranyl formate was first documented in 2010 (PMID: 20086122). These are ester derivatives of a fatty alcohol (E)-geranyl formate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (PMID: 20939374) (PMID: 21644162) (PMID: 22287404) (PMID: 23027699).
