Usage

Chemical Properties

Different sources of media describe the Chemical Properties of 3613-30-7 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. clear colorless liquid
2. Methoxydihydrocitronellal is a colorless liquid with a fresh, green, blossom odor and is used in perfumery in floral compositions for fresh, green nuances.

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.

Preparation

By catalytic methylation of hydroxycitronellal (Arctander, 1969)

Metabolism

On rice and alfalfa, methoxycitronellal formed as a metabolite of the insect-growth regulator, methoprene, was converted to methoxycitronellic acid and hydroxycitronellic acid and their conjugates (Quistad et al. 1974)

Universal approach to the synthesis of juvenoid hydroprene and methoprene from 4-methyltetrahydropyran

A universal approach to the synthesis of juvenoid hydroprene and methoprene was developed on the basis of monoalkylation of acetoacetate by 1-acetoxy-5-bromo-3-methylpentane, the product of acidic decyclization of 4-methyltetrahydropyran.

PREPARATION OF DERIVATIVES OF CITRONELLAL

The hydrogenation of citronellal and citral, if not separated from ethereal oils, leads regioselectively to dihydrocitronellal and citronellal, respectively.The reaction of citral with (+)-ephedrin or L-aspartic acid, followed by hydrogenation and deblocking the aldehyde function, yields optically active citronellal.Reacting the aldehyde function of citronellal with diethanolamine, piperidine or morpholine, the alcohol addition to the 6,7-double bond results in 7-alkoxy substituted citronellals with acceptable yield.The formation of 7-hydroxy-6,7-dihydrocitronellal during this reaction has been proved and the effect of reaction parameters on the yield have been discussed.
