taste. It is insoluble in water, soluble in 80% alcohol (1:10) and also in fi xed oils. Two commercial
varieties of oil exhibit the following constants: Citronella grass contains mainly Geraniol (40–
60%) and citronellal (5–20%). It is used as perfume for soaps, brilliantine in mosquito repellent,
antifungal and as a fl avouring agent for liniments and lotions.

2. Presence of aldehydic group: With hydroxylamine it forms an oxime, suggesting the
presence of –C=O group. The oxime upon dehydration with acetic anhydride yields a
nitrile, which indicates that the –C=O group in citronellal is aldehydic in nature. The nitrile
upon hydrolysis gives citronellic acid (C

The isopropylidene form structure (I) was confi rmed on the basis of the following
points:
(a) The IR spectral studies also indicate that the natural citronellal contains only
isopropylidene structure (I).
(b) Only structure (I) can explain the oxidation of citronellal to 3-methyl adipic acid and
acetone.
(c) The isopropylidene form (I) of citronellal also explains its conversion to isopulegol
acetate upon treatment with acetic anhydride.

It is an optically active liquid and occurs in the (–) form in rose oil and geranium oil (Pelargonium
geranium Linn; Family: Geraniaceae) and in the (+) form in citronella oil. Commercially, the

Generally, citronellol frequently occurs along with geraniol. It is used as a fl avouring agent, insect

Linalool is an optically active liquid. The (–)- form occurs in bergamot and rose oils, while the
(+) form occurs in coriander and orange oils. It is an isomer of geraniol and nerol but has tertiary
alcohol. It is the most chemically reactive member of the acyclic oxygenated monoterpenoids. Two
stereoisomeric forms of linalool exist, namely S-linalool or coriandrol and R-linalool or licareol. It
is used as mosquito repellent, carminative and fl avouring agent.

Myrcene (7-methyl-3-methylene-1,6-octadiene)
This is an acyclic monoterpenoid which occurs in verbena and bay oils. It is a chemically reactive
member of citrol. Myrcene is an important intermediate used in the perfumery industry for the
preparation of menthol, citral, citronellol, citronellal, geraniol, nerol and linalool.
Ocimene (3,7-dimethyl-1,3,7-octatriene)
It occurs in the leaves of Ocimum basilicum. It is a mixture of geometrical isomer α-ocimene
(3,7-dimethyl-1,3,7-octatriene) and β-ocimene (3,7-dimethyl-1,3,6-octatriene). Between these,
β-ocimene exists in two stereoisomeric forms, cis and trans, with respect to the central double
bond. It is an unstable compound.
Lavandulol (2-isopropenyl-5-methyl-4-hexen-1-ol)

Limonene or
1-Methyl-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-1-ene
Limonene is one of the most important colourless liquid hydrocarbon classifi ed in the category
of monoterpenoid. It is an optically active liquid and occurs in the (+), (–) and racemic forms.
The racemic form is known as dipentene. (+) Limonene occurs in lemon (Citrus limonia; Family:
Rutaceae), orange and caraway oils; (–) limonene is present in pine-needle and peppermint oils;
and the (±) form occurs in turpentine oil. (±) Limonene (dipentene) may also be obtained by
heating either of the active forms at 250°C or by mixing equal amounts of (+) and (–) limonenes.
It is used as a fl avouring agent. It also has stimulant, carminative and stomachic properties. It is
used in chemical synthesis as a precursor to carvone.
