CLEAR COLORLESS LIQUID | [Description]
Dihydromyrcenol is a colorless liquid with a fresh citrus-like odor and a lavender note. It is obtained from 3,7-dimethyl-1,6- octadiene (citronellene), the pyrolysis product of cis-pinane and can be prepared by three different processes: (i) by addition of hydrogen chloride and subsequent hydrolysis of the resulting 2,6-dimethyl-2-chloro-7-octene; or (ii) by addition of formic acid and subsequent saponification of the resulting dihydromycrenyl formate; or (iii) by direct hydroxylation with 60–80% sulfuric acid.Dihydromyrcenol is used in fine fragrances as well as in soap and detergent perfumes for fresh lime and citrus-like floral notes. | [Occurrence]
Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature. | [Uses]
Dihydromyrcenol is an organic compound from the group of the acyclic terpenoidal alcohols. It is a fragrance with a powerful, fresh, lavender like, sweet citrus and floral fragrance, which is synthetically prepared. The pure substance appears as a colorless viscous liquid, which is practically insoluble in water. | [Preparation]
By controlled, partial hydrogenation of myrcenol (Arctander, 1969). |

The acute oral LD50 in rats was reported as 3.6 g/kg (3.0-4.2 g/kg) (Mor eno, 1973). The acute dermal LD50 value in rabbits exceeded 5 g/kg (Moreno, 1973). |
