Synthesis route: There are two main ways to produce linalool:
Natural extraction: obtained by fractional distillation from natural essential oils such as rosewood oil, rosewood oil, coriander seed oil, and camphor oil.
Chemical synthesis: Using α - pinene or β - pinene from turpentine as raw materials, it is thermally decomposed to produce laurene, which then reacts with hydrogen chloride to produce linagli chloride, and finally reacts with alkali (such as caustic potassium) to produce linalool.
