Synthesis of the High Value Fragrances (Dihydrolinalool and Tetrahydrolinalool) using Combinations of Biobased Mint Biochar/ Activated charcoal incorporated Ni-Pd Catalysts

Key Points

• The aim is to synthesize high-quality fragrances, dihydrolinalool and tetrahydrolinalool, using eco-friendly catalysts.
• Utilized biobased mint biochar and activated charcoal as catalysts.
• Incorporated nickel-palladium (Ni-Pd) for enhanced catalytic activity.
• Investigated the auto-oxidation of linalool to manage the formation of toxic by-products.
• Successfully synthesized dihydrolinalool and tetrahydrolinalool from linalool.
• Demonstrated the efficacy of biochar and Ni-Pd catalysts in the process.
• Reduced the formation of harmful oxidized linalool by optimizing synthesis conditions.
