Participants
| Role | Name | HCID | Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reactant | Linalool | HCID 6549 | — |
| Reactant | Geraniol | HCID 637566 | — |
| Reactant | Nerol | HCID 643820 | — |
| Product | Citronellol | HCID 8842 | — |
Reaction Steps
A portion of the reaction was steam distilled to provide a crude product having a ratio of linalool to nerol plus geraniol to cis- and trans-isogeraniols of 62 to 25 to 13, respectively. The isogeraniols, while not known to be useful in perfumery, can be (like geraniol) hydrogenated to yield citronellol, a valuable perfumery material.
