English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
DEF

A phospholipid which [has] an alcohol moiety in ethereal linkage with a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic alcohol.

OBS

They are usually derivatives of phosphoglycerols or phosphatidates. The other two alcohol groups of the glycerol backbone are usually in ester linkage. These compounds are widely distributed in animal tissues.

DEF

A fragrant liquid unsaturated optically active unsaturated tertiary alcohol which occurs both free and in the form of esters in many essential oils, especially linaloe oils, and which is used in perfumes, soaps and flavoring materials.

OBS

Linalool exists under three forms: racemic: «dl» or «(±)» or «rac»; dextrogyre: «d» or «(+)»; and levogyre: «l» or «(-)». The prefixes «dl», «d» and «l» must be italicized. It is to be noted that the stereodescriptors (±), (+) and (-) are nowadays preferred. See also the records for the related concepts "coriandrol" and "licareol."

OBS

In the dextrorotatory form it is obtained especially from bois de rose oil or coriander oil, in levorotatory form from Mexican linaloe oil and the oil froma Japanese cinnamon, and in racemic form by isomerication of geraniol or synthetically. All optically isomeric and all used in perfumes, soaps, and flavoring materials.

OBS

Alcool terpénique utilisé dans les savons, en parfumerie, et comme aromatisant.

OBS

Le linalol existe sous trois formes : «dl» ou «(±)» ou «rac», qui indique la forme racémique; «d» ou «(+)», qui indique la forme dextrogyre; et «l» ou «(-)», qui indique la forme lévogyre. Les préfixes «dl», «d» et «l» s'écrivent en italique. Il est cependant à noter qu'on préfère aujourd'hui les stéréodescripteurs (±), (+) et (-). Voir aussi les fiches pour les notions apparentées «coriandrol» et «licaréol».

OBS

L'antipode lévogyre du linalol se rencontre dans les essences de linaloé, de bergamote et de lavande; l'antipode dextrogyre, dans les essences de coriandre, de mandarine et d'orange. Son odeur suave de lavande le fait employer en parfumerie. Le composé racémique se prépare aisément par synthèse et sert à la synthèse industrielle des ionones et de la vitamine A. Les acides cyclisent le linalol en terpinéol et terpine.
