| About the compound: | Neral is an enal that is 3,7-dimethyloctanal with unsaturation at positions C-2 and C-6. It has been isolated form the essential oils of plant species like lemon. It has a role as an apoptosis inducer and a plant metabolite. It is an enal and a monoterpenoid. Citral is found in carrot. Citral, or 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal or lemonal, is either of, or a mixture of, a pair of terpenoids with the molecular formula C10H16O. The two compounds are double bond isomers. The E-isomer is known as geranial or citral A. The Z-isomer is known as neral or citral B. Citral has been shown to exhibit apoptotic, anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory functions (A7910, A7911, A7912). Citral belongs to the family of Monoterpenes. These are compounds contaning a chain of two isoprene units.
