CAS: 68039-41-8
Pelargene, also known as Geranyl Ethyl Ether (CAS: 68039-41-8), is a synthetic aroma chemical derived from geraniol. It is an ether formed from geraniol and ethanol. It is typically a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic rosy, floral, citrus, and slightly waxy odor. Its chemical formula is C12H22O.
Pelargene is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient. It is valued for its ability to impart fresh, floral (especially rose-like), and citrus notes, often described as having a green-waxy nuance. It helps to build and enhance various perfume accords.
Its applications are widespread in the fragrance industry, including fine fragrances (perfumes, colognes), personal care products (soaps, shampoos, lotions, deodorants), and household products (detergents, fabric softeners, air fresheners). It is used to create or modify floral, citrus, and rosy compositions.
Pelargene is generally considered safe for use in fragrance applications at recommended concentrations. Like many aroma chemicals, it may cause skin irritation or sensitization in susceptible individuals, particularly with prolonged or high-concentration exposure. Standard industrial hygiene practices should be followed during handling. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) should be consulted for detailed information regarding storage, handling, disposal, and first aid measures.
