Geranylacetone is an organic compound with the formula CH3C(O)(CH2)2CH=C(CH3)(CH2)2CH=C(CH3)2. A colorless oil, it is the product of coupling geranyl and acetonyl groups. It is a precursor to synthetic squalene.[1]

Synthesis and occurrence

Geranylacetone can be produced by transesterification of ethyl acetoacetate with linalool:

EtOC(O)CH2C(O)CH3 + C10H17OH → C10H17OC(O)CH2C(O)CH3 + EtOH

The esterification of linalool can also be effected with ketene or isopropenyl methyl ether. The resulting linally ester undergoes Carroll rearrangement to give geranylacetone. Geranyl acetone is a precursor to isophytol, which is used in the manufacture of Vitamin E. Other derivatives of geranyl acetone are farnesol and nerolidol.[2]

Geranylacetone is a flavor component of many plants including rice, mango,[3] and tomatoes.

Together with other ketones, geranylacetone results from the degradation of vegetable matter by ozone.[4]

Biosynthesis

It arises by the oxidation of certain carotenoids. Such reaction are catalyzed by carotenoid oxygenase.[5]
