Uses and applications

What the substance is used for, by industry and function

Extracts, perfumery, flavoring agent, substitute for petitgrain oil.

/In perfumery/ it is widely used as a fresh and sweet blender.

It is an excellent fragrance material for, among others, bergamot, lilac, lavender, linden, neroli, ylang-ylang, and phantasy notes (particularly chypre). Smaller amounts are used in other citrus products. Since linalyl acetate is fairly stable toward alkali, it can also be employed in soaps and detergents.

Reported uses (ppm): (Flavor and Extract Manufacturers' Association, 1994)

Table: Reported uses (ppm): (Flavor and Extract Manufacturers' Association, 1994) [Table#1850].

/Lynalyl acetate/ is used as an intermediate and found in soaps, cleaning products and cosmetics (perfume)... It is a component of oil paint, is used in extracts and as a substitute for petitgrain oil ... Linalyl acetate is a food additive.

Foodstuffs contain between 1.9 (soft drinks) and 13 ppm (chewing gum) linalyl acetate... The Danish product register indicates that linalyl acetate is a constituent of several industrial products (odor agents, cleaning/washing agents, cosmetics, absorbents and adsorbents, process regulators, welding and soldering agents, non-agricultural pesticides and preservatives, surface treatment). The total amount per product of the substance was 2% or less, except in odor agents (<20%)... The Norwegian Product register indicates that linalyl acetate is used in car polish (wax), ordinary cleaning products and detergents (for textile). The content in the products is between 0 and 1%...

How it is made

Normally prepared by direct acetylation of linalool, another method starts from myrcene hydrochloride, anhydrous sodium acetate and acetate anhydride in the presence of a catalyst, all synthetic methods tend to avoid the simultaneous formation (because of isomerization) of terpenyl and geranyl acetate.

Action of acetic anhydride on linalool in presence of sulfuric acid. May also be obtained from bergamot and other oils.

Method of purification: rectification.

Esterification (of linalool) with ketene in the presence of an acidic esterification catalyst below 30 °C results in formation of linalyl acetate without any byproducts. Esterification can be achieved in good yield, with boiling acetic anhydride, whereby the acetic acid is distilled off as it is formed, a large excess of acetic anhydride must be maintained by continuous addition of anhydride to the still vessel. Highly pure linalyl acetate can be obtained by transesterification of tert-butyl acetate with linalool in the presence of sodium methylate and by continuous removal of the tert-butanol formed in the process.
