Description and Uses
Hydroxyeitronellol has an odor reminiscent of rose and grape hyacinth. May be prepared by hydrogenation (under pressure in presence of Raney Ni) of 3,7-dimethyl-7-hydroxy-octan-l-al; also in good yields by catalytic hydrogenation (using Raney Ni) of 1.2-epoxy-3,7-dimethyl-octan-7-ol.
