PSEUDO LINALYL ACETATE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature

Uses

Myrcenyl acetate has been found to be used in perfumery as a modifier in lavender fragrances and as a blender in citrus fragrances. It gives very interesting effects with Styrax products, with Patchouli and Bergamot in “Oriental” types, and it is also used in artificial essential oils. Myrcenyl acetate is a major component of the product known as Pseudo Linalyl Acetate (1.F. F.) or “Neobergamate” (Naarden) and other specialities. These specialities are extremely complex mixtures from a reaction involving Myrcene and Acetic anhydride. Myrcenyl acetate has, in proper dilution, a very pleasant Pear-like aroma (and taste), but the Propionate is even more pleasant.

Preparation

By cold acetylation of myrcenol (Arctander, 1969).

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Safety Profile

Mildly toxic by ingestion. A skinirritant. When heated to decomposition itemits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
