Chemistry & Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Nerolidol is used in all types of perfumery for orange, rose, honeysuckle and lily of the valley notes. Useful in citrus and woody-vanillic accords, to give an airy side and make the link between those two facets.
Year of discovery :
Discovered in 1923
Natural availability :
Dextrorotatory trans-Nerolidol is the major compound of cabreuva (84%), a shrub of Paraguay. This same dextrorotatory nerolidol is isolated from Dalbergia parviflora, an Asian liana.
Isomerism :
Nerolidol exists as two pairs of enantiomers, as it has an asymmetric carbon and a double bond that gives rise to two diastereoisomers. Synthetic Nerolidol is however a mixture of all these isomers. All have a similar smell, but they do not have the same physicochemical properties.
Synthesis precursor :
Nerolidol can be a precursor to the synthesis of other terpenes, for example by a Diels-Alder reaction. It is also a precursor for the synthesis of Farnesol, following an isomerization process.
Synthesis route :
Nerolidol is a sesquiterpene, often associated with Linalool, whose synthesis starts from this last compound. Linalool is converted to geranylacetone by reaction with Ethyl Acetoacetate, for example. A condensation of the obtained ketone with acetylene, followed by a Lindlar palladium catalysed hydrogenation allows to obtain Nerolidol.
Stability :
Terpenes tend to polymerize by oxydation.
Other comments :
Comparing it with other rosy and green notes as Phenoxanol® and Rosacetol®, Nerolidol has a distinctive fruity and green note.
