Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Citronellal is used in lemon and lemongrass reproductions and for a citral and fresh effect in citrus notes. Can be used in rosy notes.
Year of discovery :
Discovered in 1889.
Natural availability :
The essential oils most commonly used to collect Citronellal in its natural state are Lemongrass EO (up to 45%) or Eucalyptus citriodora (up to 80%). The addition of bisulfite salts improves the purity of the extraction.
Isomerism :
Citronellal has an asymmetric carbon that gives rise to two enantiomers. Both isomers have a rather similar smell, although they are not necessarily present in the same plants. Usually, it is the racemic mixture of the two isomers that is used in perfumery. Eucalyptol, Geraniol and Linalool are examples of constitutional isomers of Citronellal. Their smell is however very different, as it is more floral and camphorated for Eucalyptol.
Synthesis precursor :
Citronellal is a precursor to the synthesis of many other perfume compounds. Depending on the catalyst, its hydrogenation enables the obtention of Citronellol, dihydrocitronellal or dihydrocitronellol. An acid hydrolysis allows to synthesize Hydroxycitronellal. Cyclizing the molecule by acid catalysis also allows to obtain Pulegol, a precursor for the synthesis of L-Menthol. Finally, Citronellal forms a Schiff base by reaction with Methyl Anthranilate or Indole for example.
Synthesis route :
The synthesis of citronellal is made in several possible ways. The first is from Geraniol and Nerol: a rearrangement of these molecules in the presence of a catalyst that contains oxides of copper, chromium and barium allows to obtain Citronellal as final product. Citronellol, dehydrogenated under reduced pressure, in the presence of a bichromated copper steel catalyst, also allows to obtain Citronellal. The third possibility is a Citral hydrogenation catalysed by palladium.

Annexe I :
Some regulated synthetic ingredients are found in nature and in certain proportions in natural ingredients. This presence in nature has to be taken into account when calculating limits of use recommended by the IFRA. In case you do not know these concentrations, you can use the ones estimated by the IFRA.
