Sesquiterpene alcohols

The sesquiterpenes found in essential oils have low volatilities compared with monoterpenes and so are isolated mainly by steam distillation or extraction, but some are also isolated by distillation or crystallization. Most of the sesquiterpene alcohols are heavy viscous Hquids and many crystallize when they are of high enough purity. Sesquiterpene alcohols are important in perfume bases for their odor value and their fixative properties as well. They are valuable as carriers of woody, balsamic, or heavy oriental perfume notes. [Pg.426]

Guaiol and Bulnesol. The main constituents of guaicwood oil are the sesquiterpene alcohols guaiol [489-86-1] (107) and bulnesol (108). When the alcohols are dehydrated with acid, many of the hydrocarbons formed are also found ia patchouli oil. [Pg.429]

By con ersion into the xanlbogemc esters Ihe alcoholic porlion of the oil was separated iolo two distinct portions, which on saponification yielded l o isomeric sesquiterpene alcohols. One of ihese. iso-cryptoraeriol, C,jH,jOH, is a liquid of specific relation — 3° 2o. The isomeric alcohol has been termed cryptoraeiiol, and is an oil of specific rotation - 37° o, and has a specific gravity 0 96d. [Pg.6]

Caryophyllene nitrosochloride, (CjgHgJjN OoCL, is obtained when a mixture of the sesquiterpene, alcohol, ethyl acetate, and ethyl nitrite is cooled in a freezing mixture, and then treated with a saturated solution of hydrochloric acid in alcohol. The reaction mass is allowed to stand on ice for an hour and is then exposed to sunlight. Thus prepared it melts at about 158° to 163°, and can be separated into two compounds, one being that of a-caryophyllene and the other that of yS-caryophyllene Deussen s sesquiterpenes of natural caryophyllene from clove oil), a-caryophyllene nitrosochloride melts at 177", and /3-caryophyllene nitrosochloride at 159°. They can be separated by fractional crystallisation. The corresponding a-nitrolbenzylamine melts at 126° to 128°, and the /3-nitrolbenzylamine at 172° to 173°. The bimolecular formula given above is probable but not certain. [Pg.87]

Dihydrocedrene is a colourless oil having the following characters —... [Pg.97]

The next group of alcoholic bodies to be studied are those which, although open-chaini alcohols, show considerable tendency to easily pass into closed-chain compounds, so that they occupy a definite position of their own, midway between the ordinary aliphatic series and the closed-chain series. The principal members of this important group are geraniol, nerol, linalol, and citronellol, together with the so-called aliphatic sesquiterpene alcohols, farnesol and nerolidol. [Pg.108]

This sesquiterpene alcohol was discovered by Schimmel Co. in oil of Eucalyptus globulus. It is found in the last fractions of the distillate, separating out in crystalline condition. On recrystallisation from 70 per cent, alcohol, it was obtained in the form of brilliant, almost odourless needles, having the following characters —... [Pg.158]

Schimmel Co. attempted to acetylise the alcohol by means of acetic anhydride, but the reaction product only showed 5 per cent, of ester, which was not submitted to further examination. The bulk of the alcohol had been converted into a hydrocarbon, with loss of water. Ninety per cent, formic acid is most suitable for splitting off water. Gne hundred grams of the sesquiterpene alcohol were heated to boiling-point with three times the quantity of formic acid, well shaken, and, after cooling, mixed with water. The layer of oil removed from the liquid was freed fi-om resinous impurities by steam-distillation, and then fractionated at atmo.spheric pressure. It was then found to consist of a mixture of dextro-rotatory and laevo-rotatory hydrocarbons. By repeated fractional distillation, partly in vacuo, partly at ordinary pressure, it was possible to separate two isomeric sesquiterpenes, which, after treatment with aqueous alkali, and distillation over metallic sodium, showed the following physical constants —... [Pg.158]
