LINALYL ISOVALERATE Usage And Synthesis

Description

Linalyl isovalerate has a stable, suave, fruity odor and a sweet, apple-like taste somewhat reminiscent of plum and peach. May be synthesized from dehydrolinalool and isovaleric acid followed by hydrogenation; also from linalool and isovaleric acid by azeotropic esterification.

Chemical Properties

Linalyl isovalerate has a stable, suave, fruity odor and a sweet, apple-like taste somewhat reminiscent of plum and peach.

Occurrence

Reported found in nature (Salvia officinalis and Salvia spinosa).

Uses

Linalyl isovalerate is found in heavy exotic floral fragrance, Chypres, and some Oriental types. It blends excellently with Clary Sage and Oakmoss, as well as Jasmin, Neroli and Petitgrain. It seems to be very stable and performs well in soap. In flavour compositions, it finds its way into imitation Apples, Apricots, Loganberry and other berries, Peaches, Plums, etc., in a concentration equivalent to 1 to 6 ppm in the functional consumer product.

Preparation

From dehydrolinalool and isovaleric acid followed by hydrogenation; also from linalool and isovaleric acid by azeotropic esterification.
