What are the functions of Geraniol? THANKS. massa 07:42, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DO NOT USE NEAR BEE HIVES!!!

This product is advertised as a bug repelent HOWEVER WHAT THEY ARE NOT TELLING YOU ....is the FACT that it attracts BEES

[edit] Geraniol vs. Rhodinol

The first sentence in the article states that Geraniol and Rhodinol is the same. To my knowledge there is a clear difference between both substances.

Geraniol is 3,7-Dimethyl-trans-2,6-octadien-1-ol

Rhodinol is 3,7-Dimethyl-7-octen-1-ol

Citronellol is 3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-ol

Rhodinol has a double bond at the ending position 7 whereas Citronellol and Geraniol have a double bond at position 6.

It is clearly a mistake in the article. Antonindvorak (talk) 12:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for catching the error. I've created a separate article for rhodinol. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:34, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
