Use

Citral occurs as (2Z)- and (2E)-isomers (citral a and b, respectively) analogous to the corresponding alcohols, geraniol and nerol: geranial (citral a), bp2.7 kPa 118–119 °C, d20 0.8888, n20 D 1.4898; neral (citral b), bp2.7 kPa 120 °C, d20 0.8869, n20 D 1.4869. Natural citral is nearly always a mixture of the two isomers. It occurs in lemongrass oil (up to 85%), in Litsea cubeba oil (up to 75%), and in small amounts inmany other essential oils. The citrals are colorless to slightly yellowish liquids, with an odor reminiscent of lemon. Since citral is an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde with an additional double bond, it is highly reactive and may undergo reactions such as cyclization and polymerization. Geraniol, citronellol, and 3,7-dimethyloctan-l-ol can be obtained from citral by stepwise hydrogenation. Citral can be converted into a number of addition compounds; the (Z)- and (E)-isomers can be separated via the hydrogen sulfite addition compounds.The condensation of citral with active methylene groups is used on an industrial scale in the synthesis of pseudoionones, which are starting materials for ionones and vitamins.
