Description

(±)-Citronellal is an active component of citronella oil. It is used as a flavoring agent, insect repellent, fragrance in soaps and detergents, and in personal care products like creams, lotions, and perfumes. It acts as a chemical intermediate for citronellol and hydroxycitronellal. Further, it is used to prepare 1-dibutylamino-3,7-dimethyl-oct-6-en-2-one by reacting with dibutylamine. In addition to this, it is utilized to inhibit the development of mechanical nociception induced by carrageenan (CG) and tumor necrosis factor-alfa.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
