Compound Q&A
How is Ylang-ylang oil (CAS: 8006-81-3) typically synthesized?
Answer
Ylang-ylang oil (CAS: 8006-81-3) is obtained from the flowers of the Cananga odorata tree through steam distillation. The process involves macerating the petals with a solvent like ethanol to extract the oil, followed by distillation to obtain the essential oil. No additional synthetic routes are commonly used since the natural oil is sufficient for most applications.
