ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionMethyl geranate, also known as methyl geranic acid or methyl (2e)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienoate, is a member of the class of compounds known as acyclic monoterpenoids. Acyclic monoterpenoids are monoterpenes that do not contain a cycle. Methyl geranate is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Methyl geranate can be found in caraway, which makes methyl geranate a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Methyl geranate exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans.
