Linalyl acetate a Mono terpenoid - ester having the empirical formula C 12 H 20 O 2 . It is a colorless liquid with a fresh, sweet odor.

Occurrence

lavender

Linalylacetat found as a major component in lavender oil (30 - 60%), the lavender oil (25 - 50%), the clary sage (up to 75%) and bergamot (30 - 45%) and comes in addition to many other essential oils before .

Extraction and presentation

Linalyl acetate can be obtained from the essential oils mentioned above.

Synthetically is Linalylacetat can by esterification of linalool win, needs to be taking care of mild reaction conditions, as linalool unsaturated tertiary alcohol to dehydration and cyclization tendency. Suitable synthesis routes starting from linalool would be, for example, the reaction with ethenone , with boiling acetic anhydride while distilling off the acetic acid formed, or a transesterification using tert-butyl acetate in the presence of sodium methoxide .

It can be obtained from dehydrolinalool by esterification with acetic anhydride and subsequent partial hydrogenation .

The reaction of β-pinene with acetic acid and sodium acetate in the presence of copper (I) chloride is also used , linalyl acetate being formed with a yield of 75-80%.

Linalyl acetate is one of the chemical substances that are produced in large quantities (“ High Production Volume Chemical ”, HPVC) and for which the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) collects data on possible hazards (“ Screening Information Dataset ”, SIDS ) was made.

use

Linalyl acetate is used extensively in perfumery . Due to its good stability in an alkaline environment, it is also often used in soaps or detergents .

safety instructions

The vapors of linalyl acetate can form an explosive mixture with air ( flash point 94 ° C, ignition temperature 225 ° C).
