Synthesis route :
Limetol® can be synthesized by a cyclization and a dehydration of Citral and Linalool. These reactions are catalysed by the presence of a strong acid such as sulfuric acid.
Synthesis precursor :
Limetol® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Isomerism :
