Physical and Chemical Properties | Myrtene alcohol is present in eucalyptus oil and myrtle oil as free and acetate. It has grass fragrance, wood fragrance and camphor-like aroma, and its acetate has pleasant and fresh grass fragrance. It is a colorless liquid. Boiling point 221~224 ℃(101kPa). Relative density 0.978. 1.496 refractive index. Obtained by β-pinene after epoxidation and then catalytic isomerization. Can be used for lavender and citrus flavor. β-pinene is chlorinated, esterened, and hydrolyzed to obtain myrtene alcohol, and then through further selective oxidation to synthesize myrtene aldehyde. Myrtle enal (Myrtenal) is a kind of spice, which has a wide range of uses and is an important fine chemical intermediate, which can further synthesize a series of more valuable spices such as the sweetener perilla. |
