| | 6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-ol Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | CLEAR COLOURLESS TO SLIGHTLY YELLOW LIQUID | | Uses | Sulcatol is an compound used in the synthesis of aggregation pheromone of the ambrosia beetle, an insect pest of harvested timber in the Pacific North Coast.
6-METHYL-5-HEPTEN-2-OL, not nearly as penetrating in
odor as the ketone,
finds some use in perfume compositions as a
minor part of topnote bases for Citrus
colognes, Oriental bases, Rose modifications,
etc. | | Definition | ChEBI: Sulcatol is a secondary alcohol. It has a role as a pheromone. | | Production Methods | 6-METHYL-5-HEPTEN-2-OL can be produced:
1) by reduction or catalytic hydrogenation of
Methylheptenone.
2) from Geranonitrile by boiling it with alcoholic Potassium hydroxide. |
