Myrcenol is an organic compound, specifically a terpenoid. It is most notable as one of the fragrant components of lavender oil.
It is formed upon boiling hops (Humulus lupulus).
Myrcenol is obtained synthetically from myrcene via hydroamination of the 1,3-diene followed by hydrolysis and Pd-catalysed removal of the amine. As a 1,3-diene, myrcenol undergoes DielsâÂÂAlder reactions with several dienophiles, such as acrolein, to give cyclohexene derivatives that are also useful fragrances.
