Fatty alcohols are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms. Thus, dihydrocitronellol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. Dihydrocitronellol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Dihydrocitronellol is an aldehydic, bitter, and citrus tasting compound found in lemon, which makes dihydrocitronellol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. 3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol Dihydrocitronellol FEMA 2391 Perhydrogeraniol Tetrahydrogeraniol C10H22O 158.2811 158.167065326 3,7-dimethyloctan-1-ol 3,7-dimethyloctan-1-ol 106-21-8 CC(C)CCCC(C)CCO InChI=1S/C10H22O/c1-9(2)5-4-6-10(3)7-8-11/h9-11H,4-8H2,1-3H3 PRNCMAKCNVRZFX-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohols.
