| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
clear colorless liquid | [Occurrence]
Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature. | [Uses]
It is used in many types of floral fragrances,
in floral bases, particularly recommended for
Ylang-Ylang bases. It blends very well with the “rose” alcohols,
with the Cinnamic derivatives and with the
Eugenols, Benzylacetate and other common
ingredients. It needs more fixation than
Hydroxycitronellal which in itself is a fixative,
but it also offers fresh-green, almost vegetable-green notes, not found in Hydroxycitronellal,
and not found so pleasantly effective in Cyclamen aldehyde. Its softness makes it easy to
use, hard to overdose. | [Preparation]
By catalytic methylation of hydroxycitronellal (Arctander, 1969) | [Metabolism]
On rice and alfalfa, methoxycitronellal formed as a metabolite of the insect-growth regulator, methoprene, was converted to methoxycitronellic acid and hydroxycitronellic acid and their conjugates (Quistad et al. 1974) |

Both the acute oral LD50 value in rats and the acute dermal LD50 value in rabbits exceeded 5 g/kg (Moreno, 1975). Quistad, Staiger & Schooley (1974) described methoxycitronellal as non-toxic to mammals, giving the LD50 in rats again as > 5 g/kg |
