Chemistry & Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Limetol® gives a minty effect to the top note. Brings freshness, head and power to the beginning of minty notes. May be useful to give a fresh effect to lime notes, and for woody and lemon notes.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
Limetol® is particularly present in Lime EO. To increase its presence, it is possible to acidify the essential oil to promote its formation. Then, it is possible to extract it from the obtained product.
Isomerism :
Limetol® has an asymmetric carbon. It is the enantiomeric mixture of this molecule that is used in perfumery. Moreover, Limetol® is a constitutional isomer of Isomenthone or Borneol for example. All have a minty smell, although they are used for different purposes. In the case of Limetol®, it is used to bring a zesty top note in perfumes.
Synthesis precursor :
Limetol® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Limetol® can be synthesized by a cyclization and a dehydration of Citral and Linalool. These reactions are catalysed by the presence of a strong acid such as sulfuric acid.
Stability :
Stable in perfumes and diverse functional bases, except bleach.
