Synthesis route :
Linalyl Propionate is synthesized by an esterification reaction involving Linalol. This reaction may involve acetic acid, in the presence of a small amount of a concentrated strong acid, such as sulphuric acid. To improve the yield of this reaction, acetic anhydride or chloroacetic acid can be used instead of acetic acid.
Synthesis precursor :
Linalyl Propionate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Isomerism :
Linalyl Propionate used in perfumery is a racemic mixture of its two enantiomers (R) and (S). Both have a similar smell.
Geranyl Propionate and Lyral® are both constitutional isomers of Linalyl Propionate. The first is more citric and rosy, and the second has a transparent floral and aldehydic note.
