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.
