Citral oxime is an organic compound derived from citral through its reaction with hydroxylamine, resulting in the formation of a mixture of four diastereomeric oximes corresponding to the E/Z isomers of citral. This mixture can be separated into individual isomers using chromatographic techniques. Citral oxime serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of geranyl nitrile, an oxidation-stable analog of citral widely utilized in the fragrance industry. The dehydration of citral oxime to geranyl nitrile is typically achieved using acetic anhydride as a dehydrating agent. Additionally, citral oxime can undergo esterification reactions with carboxylic acid anhydrides or chlorides in the presence of pyridine to yield citral oxime esters, which also possess aromatic applications.
