Synthesis route :
Geranyl Butyrate results from an esterification reaction between Butyric Acid and Geraniol, by acid catalysis. The use of chlorobutyric acid or butyric anhydride may provide a better yield on this reaction.
Synthesis precursor :
Geranyl Butyrate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Isomerism :
Neryl Butyrate, a diastereoisomer of Geranyl Butyrate is less rosy but keeps a butyric and waxy aspect specific to butyrates.
