==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. |

Of the several terpenes extracted from '']'' (hops), the largest monoterpenes fraction is β-myrcene. One study of the chemical composition of the fragrance of '']'' found β-myrcene to compose between 29.4% and 65.8% of the steam-distilled essential oil for the set of fiber and drug strains tested.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://druglibrary.net/olsen/HEMP/IHA/jiha4208.html|title=Essential oil of ''Cannabis sativa'' L. strains|website=druglibrary.net|access-date=2017-06-08}}</ref> Additionally, myrcene is thought to be the predominant terpene found in modern cannabis cultivars within North America.
