Synthesis route :
Like Linalool, Ethyl Linalool can be synthesized in many ways. One of them is made from 6-methyl-5-octen-2-one, which reacts with acetylene to form Dehydro Ethyl Linalool. Then, a Lindlar hydrogenation of catalysed palladium can be made in order to obtain Ethyl Linalool.
Synthesis precursor :
Ethyl Linalool is a precursor to the synthesis of Dihydro Ethyl Linalool, and several esters, little used in perfumery.
Isomerism :
Ethyl Linalool has an asymmetric carbon and a double bond capable of forming enantiomers and diastereoisomers. It is however a mixture of isomers that is used in perfumery.
Aldehyde C-11 Undecylenic is a constitutional isomer of Ethyl Linalool. However, it has a much more aldehydic and less floral smell.
