Synthesis of high value fragrances (dihydrolinalool and tetrahydrolinalool) using combinations of biobased mint biochar/activated charcoal incorporated Ni–Pd catalysts
Abstract
pressure at 150 °C with a reaction time of 60 min, the designed catalysts hydrogenate linalool (I) to 6,7-dihydrolinalool (II) and tetrahydrolinalool (III) with 82.5% and 91.6% selectivity, respectively. Catalyst characterization has confirmed the role of metal-support interactions towards governing the selectivity. The industrial potential of the present catalytic process in the synthesis of fine fragrance chemicals has been revealed.
