Linalool is a colorless liquid that is stable and naturally occurs as a minor constituent in roses, rosewood, and lavender. It is an optically active acyclic oxygenated monoterpenoid with a boiling point of 198-199C and molecular formula of C10H18O. It contains two double bonds, as indicated by its reaction with bromine to form tetra bromine. It contains a tertiary alcohol functional group, as shown by its reaction with PCl5. Linalool is isomeric with geraniol and can be synthesized by steam distillation from natural sources.
![OH group [tertiary alcohol]
It reacts with PCl5 hence OH is present.
On catalytic dehydrogenation yield oleffin
reveals that presence of tertiary OH group.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/7-180305102813/85/7-linalool-5-320.jpg)
