The invention relates to a method for co-producing
linalool and tetrahydrolinalool, which comprises the following steps of: 1) dropwise adding
dehydrolinalool into a tetrahydrolinalool-catalyst 1, carrying out
partial hydrogenation reaction in a reaction kettle 1, and filtering the catalyst 1 to obtain a reaction liquid 1, 2) fully hydrogenating the reaction liquid 1 in a reaction kettle 2-catalyst 2, and filtering the catalyst 2 to obtain a reaction liquid 2, 3) rectifying the reaction liquid 2, the
linalool and the tetrahydrolinalool are obtained. The method is provided for co-production of
linalool and tetrahydrolinalool, the ratio of linalool to tetrahydrolinalool is adjustable, tetrahydrolinalool is used as a
bedding solution in the step 1), introduction of a third substance is avoided, and
energy consumption of separation is reduced. Compared with the prior art, the process has the advantages that the reaction heat of tetrahydrolinalool can be reduced, so that the reaction is
safer; in addition, the byproduct
dehydrolinalool dimer and linalool in the step 1) are hydrated, and the dihydrolinalool can be fully hydrogenated in the step 2) to generate tetrahydrolinalool, so that the
utilization rate of the
dehydrolinalool is increased.
