Nerolis amonoterpenoid alcoholfound in manyessential oilssuch aslemongrassandhops.It was originally isolated fromneroli oil,hence its name. This colourless liquid is used in perfumery. Like geraniol, nerol has a sweet rose odor but it is considered to be fresher.^[1]Esters and related derivatives of nerol are referred to asneryl,e.g., neryl acetate.

Isomericwith nerol isgeraniol,which istrans- orE-isomer.Nerol readily loses water to form a set of C10 compounds calleddipentene.Nerol can be synthesized bypyrolysisofbeta-pinene,which also affordsmyrcene.Hydrochlorination of myrcene gives a series of isomeric chlorides.
