摘要

Abstract The reaction of citral with anhydrous base leads initially to a cyclohexa-1, 3- dienecarbaldehyde. Stronger base and longer reaction times result in deconjugation to a cyclohexa-1, 4-diene-carbaldehyde, together with oxidative loss of six carbon atoms to yield 2-methyl-4-(4-methylpent-3-enyl) benzaldehyde. A mixed aldol reaction between citral and 3- methyl-2-butenal (= senecia aldehyde) is described.
