What is Geranyl linalool?

Chemical properties

clear colourless to pale yellowish liquid

The Uses of Geranyl linalool

Geranyl Linalool is am aliphatic genaryl derivative. Geranyl Linalool unlike other genaryl derivatives showed poor inhibitory activity against carotenoid synthesis in Synechococcus. Geranyl Linalool was identified as a testosterone-dependent volatile compound in the preputial gland of rat Rattus norvegicus.

The Uses of Geranyl linalool

Geranyllinalool has been used in studying its influence on pyocyanin and Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It may be used as a starting material in the synthesis of teprenone by reacting with acetylated Meldrum′s acid.

What are the applications of Application

Geranyllinalool is an aliphatic genaryl derivative

Definition

ChEBI: A diterpenoid that is linalool in which one of the terminal methyl hydrogens is substituted by a geranyl group (the 6E,10E-geoisomer)

General Description
