Nerolidol
Nerolidol, also known as peruviol or penetrol, is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene. It is found in various essential oils, including neroli, petitgrain oil, cananga oil, and jasmine oil. Nerolidol appears as a colourless to pale yellow clear oily liquid with a distinctive minty floral odour. Its purity is typically 90% minimum.
Nerolidol is industrially prepared using linalool as the raw material, which is converted into geranyl acetone, followed by ethynylation and hydrogenation reactions.
