PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Geranyl benzoate is a benzoate ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of benzoic acid with the hydroxy group of geraniol. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a fragrance. It is a benzoate ester, a monoterpenoid and an olefinic compound. It is functionally related to a geraniol and a benzoic acid.
