Bourgeonal (18127-01-0) also can be called 3-[4-(2-Methyl-2-propanyl)phenyl]propanal ; 3-(4-Tert-butylphenyl)propanal ; 4-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)benzenepropanal ; Benzenepropanal, 4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)- and 3-[4-(2-m�thylpropan-2-yl)ph�nyl]propanal .It is a pale yellow liquid at room temperature.It has a fragrance reminiscent of Lily of the Valley, otherwise described as floral, watery, green and aldehydic. Bourgeonal is suspected to be involved in helping sperm locate the ovum. |
| Report: |
Reported in EPA TSCA Inventory. |
| Usage: | A potent agonist at hOR17-4 (a human testicular olfactory receptor) and acts as a strong chemoattractant in sperm behavioral assays. The bourgeonal-hOR17-4 signaling pathway potentially governs chemical communication between sperm and egg and may be used |
