| | 7-methoxy-3,7-dimethyloctan-2-ol Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | 7-Methoxy-3,7-dimethyl-2-octanol is a clear, almost colorless
liquid with sandalwood odor, which has a floral, woody note. It is not known
to have been found in nature.
7-Methoxy-3,7-dimethyl-2-octanol is prepared by hydrochlorination of dihydromyrcene,
methoxylation of the resulting 2-chloro-2,6-dimethyl-7-octene, and
epoxidation. The alcohol is obtained by hydrogenation of the epoxide in the presence
of Raney nickel and triethylamine. It is used in perfumery as a top note
in high-quality sandalwood compositions for cosmetics, toiletries, and soaps. | | Trade name | Osyrol (Innospec). |
