1. Isomeric with nerol is geraniol , wherein the double bond is trans. 2. Synthetically produced Nasonov consists of citral and geraniol in a 2 : 1 ratio. 3. Illustrative use of the Appel reaction is the chlorination of geraniol to geranyl chloride. 4. Some acetylations involve terpenes like geraniol . 5. The production of geraniol occurs only if sorbic acid is present during malo-lactic fermentation. 6. Like geraniol , nerol has a sweet rose odor but it is considered to be fresher. 7. Nasonov includes a number of different terpenoids including geraniol , nerolic acid, citral and geranic acid. 8. Figure 11 : The general reaction scheme studied by Kagan and coworkers for the sharpless epoxidation of geraniol . 9. Lemon grass oil contains 65-85 % citral in addition to myrcene, citronella, citronellol, and geraniol . 10. However, one potential hazard is the metabolism of sorbate to geraniol which is a potent and unpleasant by-product.
