(-)-LINALOOL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to pale yellow liquid

Uses

(-)-Linalool can be used as a reactant in:

• The enantioselective preparation of ophiobolin sesterterpene via diastereoselective reductive radical cascade cyclization.
• The total synthesis of (-)-5,6-dihydrocineromycin B via (-)-linalool O-triethylsilyl ether.;
• The total synthesis of pladienolide B analog.

Uses

(-)-Linalool has also been used as a reference standard in the quantitative determination of lavender oil in lavaflam tablets using gas chromatography method of analysis(GC).

Definition

ChEBI: The (R)-enantiomer of linalool.

General Description

L-Linalool is the key volatile compound of jasmine tea, spruce essential oil and young leaves of Litchi chinensis Sonn.
