Question
The aroma of roses is due to geraniol.(a) What is the systematic name of geraniol?(b) When geraniol is oxidized, the aldehyde citral, one of the compounds responsible for lemon scent, is formed. Write the structure of citral.
Step 1
The substituents are then listed in alphabetical order before the name of the main chain. The structure of geraniol is CH3-CH=CH-CH2-CH2-CH(CH3)-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH. Numbering the carbon atoms from the end closest to the double bond gives us: 1: CH3 2: CH=CH 3: Show more…
