In thinking about such a possibility, we made our first foray into the field of transition metal chemistry [19-24]. Using the organic chemistry of homogenous palladium chemistry, we developed such a process as shown in Eq. 2 wherein a monoterpene, methyl geraniate, is homologated to a sesquiterpene, famesol Indeed, an allylic methylation procedure as required for juvenile hormone was also... 

Figure 5 shows the thermally induced hydrolytic degradation of citral (geranial and neral) into 2-methyl-2-hepten-6-one and acetaldehyde. It is similar to the reaction mechanism as proposed by Josephson and Lindsay (22, 23). The relatively higher amount of 2-methyl-2-hepten-6-one and the concomitant lower amount of geranial and neral in steam distilled oil confirmed again a previous report (24).

Geranial is also called -citral and neral is called -citral. The general name citral is quoted as a constituent of many essential oils such as lemongrass. CitraT is actually a mixture of these c/s and trans isomers. The methyl group, CH3, is always joined by a C C bond to the molecule although, for simplicity, the bond often appears to go to the H atom or the middle of the group. 

With the catalysts derived from (S,S)-l,2-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclobutane and [RhH(CO)(PPh3)3] or rhodium carbonyls, the a,3-unsaturated aldehydes, neral and geranial, are hydrogenated to (E)- and (S)-citronellal in 79% and 60% ee, respectively. Cyclic a,3-unsaturated ketones such as isophorone and 2-methyl-2-cyclohexenone have been hydrogenated using ruthenium hydrides coordinated with chiral diphosphines in up to 62% ee to give chiral ketones, though conversions are not satisfactory. ... 

Main components According to ISO [ 141 ] geranial (39-45%), neral (25-33%) and limonene (9-15%) are the main components, followed by 6-methyl-5-heptene-2-one (1.8-3%), linalool (1.5-3%), citronellal (up to 1.5%), citronellol, nerol, geraniol and a-pinene.

It should be pointed out that manganese dioxide is a mild oxidant that usually converts primary allylic alcohols into conjugated aldehydes without significant further oxidation to carboxylic acids." However, in the presence of HCN and cyanide, the a, -unsaturated aldehydes could be converted into cyanohydrins, which are susceptible to the oxidation of Mn02 to acyl cyanides. In the presence of an alcohol, the a,j8-unsaturated esters are obtained. It should be emphasized that this reaction works only for a,j8-unsaturated aldehydes and will not cause any cis-trans isomerization for the a,/3-unsaturated double bond. For example, benzaldehyde (> 95%), cinnamaldehyde (> 95%), furfural (> 95%), geranial (85-95%), and farnesal (> 95%) have all been transformed into the corresponding methyl esters. ...

On the other hand, the cephalic secretion of the cleptoparasitic bee Holcopasites calliopsides produces two main substances, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one (62) and geranyl acetone (63), whereas the mandibular gland secretion of its host Caliopsis andreniformis contains neral (199) and geranial (200). Thus in this case no evidence was found to support the hypothesis that H. calliopsides uses host mandibular gland secretion as a kairomone to locate C. andreniformis nests (579).

It also contains a volatile fraction that consists of over 60 identified compounds, including limonene, terpinen-4-ol, neral, a-terpineol, geranial, and geraniol, which are responsible for its citrus note methyl salicylate, safrole, ionones (P- and y-), cinnamalde-hyde, and ethyl cinnamate, which contribute to its warm spicy notes piperitone and several pyrazines and alkylthiazoles that normally occur only in roasted or fried foods such as roasted peanuts, coffee, and potato chips. ...
