(R)-(-)-Linalool, 95% (sum of enantiomers) - FAQs

What is the enantiomeric purity of (R)-(-)-Linalool, 95% (sum of enantiomers)?

The column used for GC analysis of this (R)-(-)-Linalool, 95% product, yields a single peak for Linalool and cannot differentiate between the two stereoisomers. However, based on the optical rotation value, we are able to declare our product as (R)- Linalool. The value is in accordance with the literature value for the (R)-stereoisomer. Since we do not analyze the counter (S)-stereoisomer in our Linalool product, we cannot verify its presence or absence in our product, nor provide the enantiomeric excess (ee) value of our product.
