Description

It is a colorless liquid with a fresh, floral, slightly lime-like odor. Due to its conjugated double bonds, it tends to polymerize; polymerization can be suppressed by adding inhibitors (e.g., antioxidants such as BHT).
Myrcenol can be prepared by treating myrcene with diethylamine to give a mixture of geranyl- and neryldiethylamine. These compounds are hydrated with a dilute acid to the corresponding hydroxydiethylamines. Deamination tomyrcenol is effected by using a palladium–phosphine–c


Myrcenol is a monoterpenoid that is oct-7-en-2-ol substituted by a methyl group at position 2 and a methylidene group at position 6 respectively. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a fragrance. It is a monoterpenoid and a tertiary alcohol.
