Hazard and Precautionary Statements (GHS)

LINALYL PHENYL ACETATE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Linalyl phenylacetate has a mildly floral, intensely sweet Neroli rose type odor. May be synthesized from dehydrolinalool and methyl phenylacetate in the presence of sodium methylate catalyst, followed by hydrogenation of the ester, or by any other suitable means.

Chemical Properties

Linalyl phenylacetate has a mildly floral, intensely sweet Neroli rose–type odor.

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature

Definition

ChEBI: Linalyl phenylacetate is a monoterpenoid.

Preparation

From dehydrolinalool and methyl phenylacetate in the presence of sodium methylate catalyst, followed by hydrogenation of the ester, or by any other suitable means.

Metabolism

Open-chain olefinic terpene esters are presumably hydrolysed to the alcohol and the acid (Fassett, 1963). Open-chain terpenes are metabolized in the rabbit by ω-oxidation and by reduction of an a,B-double bond (Williams, 1959)
