What is Citronellyl Nitrile CAS 51566-62-2?

Citronellyl Nitrile is a fragrance nitrile also called citronellonitrile or 3,7-dimethyl-6-octenenitrile. It is identified by CAS 51566-62-2, EC 257-288-8, molecular formula C10H17N, and molecular weight about 151.26.

What does Citronellyl Nitrile smell like?

It has a fresh lemon or citrus odor with green, metallic, waxy, floral, and aldehydic facets. It is used where a stable citrus-green character and good tenacity are needed in a fragrance compound.

Where is Citronellyl Nitrile used?

It is used in fine fragrance, citrus accords, floral-green fragrance systems, soaps, detergents, cosmetics, and personal care fragrance applications. It is primarily a raw material for fragrance compounding rather than a finished perfume.

What are the typical physical properties of Citronellyl Nitrile?

It is normally supplied as a colorless to pale yellow clear liquid with a boiling point around 225-233 C, flash point around 103-117 C, and refractive index around 1.443-1.451. Density is approximately 0.83-0.85 g/ml depending on grade and temperature.

Which specifications should be checked before ordering Citronellyl Nitrile?

Confirm appearance, odor, GC purity, refractive index, specific gravity, acid value, color, and any residual nitrile or solvent data. The supplier grade and fragrance regulatory status should be matched to the intended perfume or functional fragrance application.

How should Citronellyl Nitrile be stored and handled?

Store it in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources, and strong oxidizers. Use suitable PPE, avoid prolonged skin contact or inhalation, and prevent moisture and contamination during handling.

Citronellyl Nitrile CAS 51566-62-2

Citronellyl Nitrile is a fragrance ingredient used in perfume compounds, aroma chemical blends, and fragranced formulation systems where fresh citrus, green, and floral odor character is required. As a supplier and manufacturer for fragrance industry sourcing, we support bulk supply, standard packaging, sample discussion, and document support including COA, TDS, and SDS / MSDS according to supply requirements. Application suitability should be confirmed through formulation evaluation and end-use testing. Public fragrance references describe this material as widely used in perfumery because of its chemical stability and tenacity. Terpineol is a related aroma chemical to compare where a terpene alcohol profile is needed in fragrance or functional solvent blends.
