Synthesis route :
Mandarin Aldehyde is an aliphatic aldehyde. As other aldehydes, it can be synthesized by reacting dodecenyl halides (chloride for example) with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), followed by an alkaline treatment with sodium bicarbonate. Other synthesis routes exist using a Rosenmund reaction from dodecenic acid and an acid chloride.
Synthesis precursor :
Mandarin Aldehyde forms a Schiff base by reaction with Methyl Anthranilate or Indole for example.
Isomerism :
Mandarin Aldehyde has two diastereoisomers (Z) and (E). The isomer (E) in most often used in perfumery, to the detriment of the isomer (Z). Concentration of trans isomer is minimum 93%
