Synthesis route :
Hemi-synthetic Cedryl acetate can be obtained by acetylating Cedarwood Virginia EO. It is synthesized from Cedrol, sometimes in its natural form derived from the essential oil of Virginia cedar, by an esterification reaction in an acid medium.
Synthesis precursor :
Cedryl acetate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Isomerism :
Cedryl acetate has various asymmetric carbons that gives it positive or negative optical rotation depending on the configuration. Cedryl acetate used in perfumery is a mixture of isomers.
Cedryl acetate is also a constitutional isomer of Gaiyl acetate, although they do not share the same smell.
