==Use in fragrance industry==
Myrcene is an important intermediate used in the perfumery industry. It has pleasant odor, but is rarely used directly. It is also unstable in air, tending to ]ize. Samples are stabilized by the addition of alkylphenols or ]. It is thus more highly valued as an intermediate for the preparation of flavor and fragrance chemicals such as ], ], ], ], ], ], and ]. Treatment of myrcene with ] give geranyl chloride, neryl chloride, and linalyl chloride. Treatment of these compounds with ] gives geranyl acetate, neryl acetate, and linalyl acetate, respectively. These esters are then ] to the corresponding alcohols. Myrcene is also converted to ], another fragrance found in ] via uncatalyzed ] of the 1,3-diene followed by hydrolysis and Pd-catalyzed removal of the amine.
