Citronellol, or dihydrogeraniol, is a natural acyclic monoterpenoid. Both enantiomers occur in nature. (+)-Citronellol, which is found in citronella oils, including Cymbopogon nardus (50%), is the more common isomer. (−)-Citronellol is widespread, but particularly abundant in the oils of rose (18–55%) and Pelargonium geraniums.[1]

Preparation

Several million kilograms of citronellol are produced annually. It is mainly obtained by hydrogenation of geraniol or nerol over copper chromite catalyst.[2] Homogeneous catalysts are used for the production of enantiomers.[3][4]

Uses

Citronellol is used in perfumes and as a fragrance in cleaning products. In many applications, one of the enantiomers is preferred. It is a component of citronella oil, an insect repellant.[2]

Citronellol is used as a raw material for the production of rose oxide.[2][5] It is also a precursor to many commercial and potential fragrances such as citronellol acetate, citronellyl oxyacetaldehyde, citronellyl methyl acetal, and ethyl citronellyl oxalate.[2]

Health and safety

The United States FDA considers citronellol as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for food use.[6] Citronellol is subject to restrictions on its use in perfumery,[7] as some people may become sensitised to it, but the degree to which citronellol can cause an allergic reaction in humans is disputed.[8][9]

In terms of dermal safety, citronellol has been evaluated as an insect repellent.[10]
