Synthesis precursor :

Mandarin Aldehyde forms a Schiff base by reaction with Methyl Anthranilate or Indole for example.

Natural availability :

Mandarin Aldehyde can be extracted from Coriander Leaf EO in its natural state, where it is present at about 20%.

Synthesis route :

Mandarin Aldehyde is an aliphatic aldehyde. As other aldehydes, it can be synthesized by reacting dodecenyl halides (chloride for example) with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), followed by an alkaline treatment with sodium bicarbonate. Other synthesis routes exist using a Rosenmund reaction from dodecenic acid and an acid chloride.
