Novel route to a fruitful mixture of terpene fragrances in particular phellandrene starting from natural feedstock geraniol using weak acidic boron based catalyst
摘要:
Myrcene, ocimene and in particular phellandrene were selectively generated as products by dehydration of the natural feedstock geraniol over a weak acidic boron pentasil zeolite catalyst in a gas phase reaction. Additionally linalool was formed by rearrangement reaction. The total selectivity of these 4 terpenes is up to 99%. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
