gamma-Terpineol Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Colorless or white prismatic crystals. M.P. 70℃. Very slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Uses

Gamma-Terpineol will remain a rarity on the ( research shelf, and the perfumer may only smell it once in a while, when the analytical chemist calls him in for identification of some brief "whiffs" of odorous air, exhausted from the Gas-Liquid-Chromatograph vent.

Preparation

Gamma-Terpineol is prepared from Mesityloxide plus Acrylonitrile, followed by hydrolysis, cyclization, decarboxylation and Methyl Grignard reaction.

Definition

ChEBI: Gamma-Terpineol is a p-menthane monoterpenoid.
