5 Geranyl and Neryl Derivatives.- Geranyl- and linalyl-3-D-glucosides have been detected in shoots of Camellia sinensis,  

It has been generally accepted that C-2 of mevalonic acid becomes the methyl group trans to the ester function of dimethyl-allyl pyrophosphate. Since the latter couples with isopentenyl pyrophosphate to give geraniol (131), it follows that the C-10 of 

GPP-(Mn )g. Other divalent ions also catalyse this reaction, and 

Several new routes to geraniol and nerol have been 

In an example of this methodology, nerol has been synthesised
