Usage

Description

Neryl acetate, also known as cis-3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-yl acetate, is a major component of lavender volatile oils. It has a very sweet, floral, orange-blossom, and rose-like odor with a flavor that is initially fresh and pungent, followed by a honey-like taste with a raspberry undertone. Neryl acetate can be prepared by esterification of nerol with acetic acid or from myrcene by hydrobromination and esterification. It is a clear, colorless to slightly yellowish liquid.

Uses

Used in Perfumery:
Neryl acetate is used as a fragrance ingredient for its sweet, floral, and rose-like scent. It is particularly suitable for blossom compositions, such as orange blossom and jasmine.
Used in Flavor Industry:
Neryl acetate is used as a flavoring agent for its unique combination of sweet, floral, and fruity notes, with a hint of honey and raspberry undertones.
Used in Essential Oils:
Neryl acetate is found in the essential oils of lemon, neroli, and petitgrain bigarade, as well as in sweet and bitter orange, lemon, grapefruit, lime, black currants, grapes, celery, ginger, Mentha oils, nutmeg, thyme, hop oil, white wine, cocoa, tea, passion fruit, sweet marjoram, cardamom, lovage leaf, myrtle leaf and berry, buchu oil, lemon balm, clary sage, eucalyptus oil, and mastic gum leaf oil.
Used in Aromatherapy:
Due to its pleasant and uplifting scent, neryl acetate can be used in aromatherapy for creating a relaxing and soothing atmosphere.

Preparation

By esterification of nerol with acetic acid; also prepared from myrcene by hydrobromination and esterification.

Epoxy-Tethered Diels-Alder Reaction toward the Tricyclic Core of Kalihinols

A chiral-template-driven intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction has been used to build the tricyclic core of kalihinols, a group of antimalarial marine natural products. The key starting materials are commercially available nerol and sulcatone.

Total Synthesis of Isohericenone J via a Stille Coupling Reaction

The first total synthesis of isohericenone J is reported. Key features of this synthetic strategy are a Friedel-Crafts reaction to construct the isobenzofuranone unit and a Pd-catalyzed Stille coupling reaction for the formation of the C5-C1′ bond, generating the natural product, as well as one of its isomers, in 6.0% overall yield in eight steps. This strategy provides a foundation for the synthesis of challenging isobenzofuranone and isoindolinone-type derivatives.

New neryl esters from Helichrysum italicum (Roth) G. Don (Asteraceae) essential oil

Helichrysum italicum (immortelle) is a dwarf aromatic shrub native to the Mediterranean region. The typical subspecies (italicum) produces an essential oil rich in neryl acetate and characteristic β-diketones, italidiones, highly valued in the perfume industry. As esters are an important group of aroma-active volatiles, herein the composition of the ester fraction of this immortelle chemotype essential oil was studied in detail. Chromatographic separation of Corsican immortelle essential oil enabled the discovery of numerous potentially olfactory-interesting esters of nerol and/or angelic acid, undetectable by direct GC-MS analyses of the unfractioned oil. Four esters of nerol and medium-chain branched fatty acids represent new natural products, while several other esters have a rather restricted occurrence in the Plant Kingdom.
