What is (R)-(+)-BETA-CITRONELLOL?
Description
(+)-β-Citronellol is a monoterpene that has been found in Cannabis. It inhibits degranulation of cultured mast cells by 21.3% when used at a concentration of 0.5 mM. Unlike (R)-citronellal, it does not reduce the perceived bitterness of caffeine when used at a concentration of 5.9 nM. Formulations containing (+)-β-citronellol have been used as fragrance ingredients in various cosmetics, toiletries, and cleaning products.
The Uses of (R)-(+)-BETA-CITRONELLOL
(R)-(+)-β-Citronellol can undergo:
- Oxidation to form (R)-(+)-citronellal, an antifungal agent and (R)-(+)-citronellic acid.
- Intermolecular olefin aziridination with 2,2,2-trichloroethoxysulfonamide to form citronellol aziridine for ring-opening reactions.
- Series of reactions to form α2δ-ligands for treating generalized anxiety disorder and insomnia.
Definition
ChEBI: A citronellol that is oct-6-ene substituted by a hydroxy group at position 1 and methyl groups at positions 3 and 7 (the 3R-enantiomer).
