  What is the chemical of Citronellal? Appearance: Colorless to slightly yellow liquid with strong lemon, lemongrass, and rose like aromas. It exists in three forms of optical rotation: d -, l -, and dl -, among which d-citral is abundant in natural essential oils. ; Assay：99%min by GC ; IR Identity: conform to standard ; HNMR： conform to standard ; carbon spectrum: conform to standard ; Water by K. F.:0.5% max or as per the customer’s request ; Loss on drying:0.5% max. or as per the customer’s request ; boiling point: 203-208 ° C, measured at 760 mmHg; ============================================================================== Purpose: Essence and spice: GB 2760-96 stipulates that it is a permitted food spice, which is mainly used to prepare citrus and cherry essence, as well as low-grade lemon, cologne, soap essence, etc., to provide outstanding grass flavor. three Synthetic raw materials: are key intermediates for the synthesis of important fragrances such as citronellol, hydroxycitronellal, and menthol. Other applications: Used for pharmaceutical synthesis, daily chemical products (such as skincare and cosmetics), and seasonings. =============================================================================== Synthesis route: Natural extraction: Obtained from natural essential oils such as lemongrass oil and lemon eucalyptus oil through methods such as distillation and purification with sodium bisulfite addition. Chemical synthesis: Catalytic hydrogenation of citral: The main method in industry is to produce citral by hydrogenation of citral under the action of a catalyst. Catalytic dehydrogenation of citronellol: In the presence of lead chromium catalyst, citronellol can be dehydrogenated to form citral. Other methods: such as preparing from pinene through multi-step reactions, or hydrogenating citral in isopropanol under the action of nickel formate/alumina catalyst.
