| Application: | (R)-(+)-β-Citronellol can be used to prepare: • (R)-(+)-β-citronellyl acetate by treating with vinyl acetate via trans esterification reaction using immobilized Rhizomucor miehei lipase as biocatalyst. • (R)-(+)-citronellal and (R)-(+)-citronellic acid by the oxidation reaction. • Citronellol aziridine by treating with 2,2,2-trichloroethoxysulf It can also be used as a starting material for the synthesis of (+)-integerrinecic acid lactone. |
| Application: | (R)-(+)-β-Citronellol can undergo: • Oxidation to form (R)-(+)-citronellal, an antifungal agent and (R)-(+)-citronellic acid. • Intermolecular olefin aziridination with 2,2,2-trichloroethoxysulf • Series of reactions to form α2δ-ligands for treating generalized anxiety disorder and insomnia. |
