(R)-(-)-Citralis Nitrile is ‘similar in smell, but slightly stronger, and with additional waxy aspects, and a more pronounced green, leafy side’ (compared to its enantiomer). Odour threshold: 6.8 ng/L air = (R)-(-)-3-Methyl-5-phenylpentane-1-nitrile Innospec describes the commercial (racemic) material as "Citrus, lime, fresh, floral."

(S)-(+)-Citralis Nitrile is ‘typical citrus, reminiscent of lemon peel and geranyl nitrile, with fresh, fruity and slightly green nuances’ Odour threshold: 12.5 ng/L air = (S)-(+)-3-Methyl-5-phenylpentane-1-nitrile Ref: Ugo Matteoli, Alessandra Ciappa, Sara Bovo, Matheo Bertoldini, Alberto Scrivant, Asymmetric catalysis in fragrance chemistry: a new synthetic approach to enantiopure Phenoxanol®, Citralis® and Citralis Nitrile®, Tetrahedron: Asymmetry, Volume 18, Issue 6, 797-802 (2007) Citralis Nitrile is a tradename of Innospec Inc.
