A fresh, green citrus note reminiscent of citronella and lemon peel, but softer and less sharp than citronellal itself. The acetal protection tones down the aldehydic bite, giving a rounder, more stable lemony-green character with a mild herbal facet.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, propylene glycol and perfume oils.
Very faint, grassy-green, slightly lemony-oily odor. The pure acetal has only very little odor at all.
Beyond some academic interest, there is probably no demand for this acetal for use in perfumes or flavors. It does not offer any interesting notes unobtainable by other means, and it does not contribute power or character to a fragrance.
Produced from Citronellal plus Methanol plus Formimino methylether.
