General description

(-)-Linalool is a monoterpene compound mainly found in many essential oils. It shows anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity.

Application

(-)-Linalool can be used as a reactant in:
  • The enantioselective preparation of ophiobolin sesterterpene via diastereoselective reductive radical cascade cyclization.
  • The total synthesis of (-)-5,6-dihydrocineromycin B via (-)-linalool O-triethylsilyl ether.;
  • The total synthesis of pladienolide B analog.
