Usage And Synthesis

Description

Geranyl linalool is a colorless and transparent liquid. Structurally, geranyl linalool is a straight chain diterpenoid. Being bioactive natural product, geranyl linalool is the essential ingredients that determine the spice type. In the other hand, geranyl linalool was also an important intermediate for Teprenone, a gastric mucosa protective agent. Employing geranyl linalool as substrate, the most convenient synthesis method of Teprenone would be achieved. Catalyzed by isopropanol aluminum and reacted with methyl acetoacetate, Teprenone could be obtained in one step. Geranyl linalool can also be used as insect pheromone and natural insect insecticide. So, geranyl linalool possesses important economic value.

Chemical Properties

clear colourless to pale yellowish liquid

Uses

Geranyllinalool has been used in studying its influence on pyocyanin and Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It may be used as a starting material in the synthesis of teprenone by reacting with acetylated Meldrum′s acid.

Uses

Geranyl Linalool is am aliphatic genaryl derivative. Geranyl Linalool unlike other genaryl derivatives showed poor inhibitory activity against carotenoid synthesis in Synechococcus. Geranyl Linalool was identified as a testosterone-dependent volatile compound in the preputial gland of rat Rattus norvegicus.

Definition

ChEBI: A diterpenoid that is linalool in which one of the terminal methyl hydrogens is substituted by a geranyl group (the 6E,10E-geoisomer)

General Description

Geranyllinalool is a diterpene alcohol, commonly used as a fragrant. It imparts insecticidal property to xylophagous insects and pine wood.
