TETRAHYDROMYRCENOL Usage And Synthesis

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.

Uses

Tetrahydromuguol finds extensive use as a soap perfume chemical (mixture) and as a base for many types of floral fragrances, Muguet, Lilac, Rose, Lily, etc. It blends excellently with the conventional “rose materials”, alifatic aldehydes, Decenol, Amylcinnamic aldehyde, Butylcyclohexanyl acetate, etc. for such purposes.

Preparation

From allo-ocimene, via allo-ocimenol followed by hydrogenation (Arctander, 1969). Uses: Use in fragrances in the USA amounts to approximately 35,000 lb/yr.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable
