Chemical Information
FooDB Nametrans-Geranic acid
DescriptionGeranic acid, also known as 3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienoate or geranate, is a member of the class of compounds known as acyclic monoterpenoids. Acyclic monoterpenoids are monoterpenes that do not contain a cycle. Thus, geranic acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. Geranic acid is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Geranic acid, or 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienoic acid, is a pheromone used by some organisms. It is a double bond isomer of nerolic acid .
