Nerol is a flavoring agent that is a colorless liquid with an odor resem-
bling fresh, sweet roses and contains geranoils and other terpenic
alcohols. it is miscible in alcohol, chloroform, and ether insoluble
in water. it is obtained by synthesis. it is also termed cis-3,7-dime-
thyl-2,6-octadien-1-ol. | [CAS DataBase Reference]

Determination of total alcohol (OT-5). The amount of sample taken is 1.2g; the equivalent factor (e) in the calculation is 77.13. | [Chemical properties]
Colorless oily liquid It bears a sweet smell similar to the fresh rose, better than geraniol, and with hints of lemon flavor. The boiling point is 227 ℃; flash point is 92 ℃; optical rotation is [α] D ± 0 °. Miscible in ethanol, chloroform and ether; nearly insoluble in water.
It is the isomer of geraniol (trans; geraniol is cis).
Natural lanolin and its esters are found in orange leaf oil, rose oil, lavender oil, Sri Lanka citronella oil, bitter orange blossom oil and bergamot, lemon, white lemon, grapefruit, sweet orange and so on. | [Uses]
The food flavors are mainly for the preparation of raspberry, strawberry and citrus fruit flavors and preparation of orange blossom, rose, magnolia main spices. It is a spice commonly used in jasmine, white flowers, lilac, lily of the valley, narcissus, carnation, mimosa, violet, vanilla, cymbidium, tuberose and citrus cologne. It is also commonly used in hyacinth, gardenia, osmanthus, acacia flavor formula. In the food flavor, its raspberry-strawberry flavor effect is commonly used. The product is also used in the preparation of daily makeup fragrance, such as violet, orange blossom, jasmine, lily of the valley, magnolia, cloves and other fragrance type makeup fragrance. It is widely used in orange blossom, rose, jasmine, tuberose and other fragrances of fragrant type and food flavor of raspberry, strawberry. It can also be used to produce ester spices. | [Preparation]
1. Oil of petitgrain is used as raw material; the first step is eliminating linalool and terpenes through fractionation; through saponification the fraction containing primary alcohol will be made into phthalate esters; and then going through purification and alkali saponification, geraniol (60 %) and nerol (40%) mixture is derived; removing geraniol with lead chloride, undergoing the residue vacuum distillation or steam distillation, the product was derived.
2. Let the geraniol and hydroiodic acid reacted in the neutral solution. Removing excess hydrogen iodide with alkali, the nerol mixed with geraniol can be derived, and then separate the mixture using the above method.
3. Heat the mixture of the same amount of camphor and acetic anhydride to boiling in the presence of sodium acetate. The mixture of geraniol and neryl alcohol can be derived through saponified esterification, and then separate the mixture by the former method.
4. Reducing citral in the isopropanol solution containing isopropanol aluminium also can obtain the mixture of geraniol and nerol, and nerol is derived through re-separation. | [Toxicity]
