General description

Geranyllinalool is a diterpene alcohol, commonly used as a fragrant. It imparts insecticidal property to xylophagous insects and pine wood.

Application

Geranyllinalool has been used in studying its influence on pyocyanin and Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It may be used as a starting material in the synthesis of teprenone by reacting with acetylated Meldrum′s acid.
