Geraniol has nothing to do with geranium taint

The section on occurrences says that geraniol is a wine taint, based on some slide deck with minimal attribution. 2-ethoxy-3,5-hexadiene is unrelated to geraniol (other than odor and the fact both are unsaturated carbon chains). The source is wrong in labelling the chemical "geraniol".

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)[reply]

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