Abstract

The well-known monoterpene citronellal (1, Chart I) is one of the unsaturated aldehydes naturally occurring in essential oils such as Citronella and Lemongrass oils.'Few structural isomers either of 1 or of its corresponding alcohol citronellol (2) have been found in nature or have been synthesized.
