Linalyl Acetate
Linalyl Acetate is an ester compound naturally found in numerous plant essential oils, notably in Lamiaceae plants such as lavender oil, lavandin oil, perilla oil, lemon oil, and lime oil. It presents as a colourless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant fresh floral and fruity odour, often reminiscent of bergamot and lavender.
Industrially, Linalyl Acetate is primarily produced through the acetylation of linalool with acetic anhydride, an efficient and economical synthesis method.
