linalool + reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = (6E)-8-hydroxylinalool + oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + H2O + H(+)
linalool + 2 reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + 2 O2 = (6E)-8-oxolinalool + 2 oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + 3 H2O + 2 H(+)
linalool = (2E)-geraniol
(2E)-geranyl diphosphate + H2O = linalool + diphosphate
