Synthesis route :
Eucalyptol is a little synthesized raw material, as it can be extracted from Eucalyptus EO and other oils with a high yield and high purity.
Synthesis precursor :
Eucalyptol can be a precursor to the synthesis of other terpenes, by a Diels-Alder reaction for example.
Isomerism :
Eucalyptol has several constitutional isomers, mainly with a floral note: Linalool, Geraniol and Nerol are part of it. Menthone® is also an isomer of Eucalyptol, and has a very minty note, but less coniferous.
