BETA-CYCLOCITRAL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colourless Oil

Chemical Properties

2,6,6-Trimethyl-1,2-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde has a camphoraceous odor for a 50/50 mixture of isomers.

Occurrence

Reported found in tea, apricot, melon, tomato, tomato paste, ginger, rum, Japanese plum, plumcot, mango, apple brandy, calamus, buckwheat, Bourbon vanilla, cape gooseberry and maté.

Uses

beta-Cyclocitral is used as flavoring agent, nutrient, stabilizers, surfactants and emulsifiers.

Production Methods

BETA-CYCLOCITRAL can be produced by condensation of Citral with Aniline, followed by hydrolysis and separation of the alpha and beta isomers by fractionated distillation.

Definition

ChEBI: A monoterpenoid formally derived from citral by cyclisation. It is a volatile compound produced by a cyanobacteria.
