  2. What’s truly important… plus a picture of the molecule

  3. Linalool • Chemical Formula: C10 H17 OH • Molar Mass: 154.25 g/mol • Density: 858 kg/m3 • Melting Point: <20°C • Boiling Point: 198-199°C • Water Solubility: 854 mg/l (23.5 °C) – 1589 mg/l (25 °C)

  4. Linalool • First synthesized by F. Tiemann in 1898. •  Naturally occurring Terpene Alcohol chemical found in many flowers and spice plants. • Linalool is used as a scent in 60–80% of perfumed hygiene products and cleaning agents. • Linalool when oxidized can cause allergic reactions such as eczema.

  5. Linalool • Linalool is also a source of Vitamin E and can be used for killing insects such as fleas and cockroaches. • Akio Nakamura along with other scientists at the University of Tokyo claimed that Linalool can reduce stress in lab rats. • This shows potential of producing fragrances that can soothe stress. • Inhaling Linalool can also return genes that go into overdrive during stress such as neutrophils and lymphocytes back to normal.
