Dihydrolinalool (C₁₀H₂₂O) 18479-51-1

Dihydrolinalool (C₁₀H₂₂O, CAS 18479-51-1) is a tertiary terpene alcohol with a fresh floral citrus scent. It is the hydrogenated derivative of linalool and offers superior stability in functional products such as soaps and detergents where linalool may oxidize or discolor.

Dihydrolinalool has a similar fresh floral citrus odor profile to linalool but is more chemically stable. It is less prone to oxidation and discoloration in acidic and alkaline media, making it preferred for use in soaps, detergents, fine fragrances, and other functional products requiring extended shelf stability.

Dihydrolinalool is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in fine fragrances, personal care products, soaps, and detergents. It is also used in flavor formulations for food and beverages, and serves as a versatile intermediate for synthesizing other aroma chemicals such as dihydrolinalyl acetate and tetrahydrolinalool.

Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. Under proper storage conditions, shelf life is 24 months.

Dihydrolinalool can be produced synthetically or isolated from natural sources. The synthetic version is the most commonly available commercial form. It is widely used in both natural and synthetic fragrance formulations. Contact XRD Chemical for specific grade requirements and documentation.
