Citral was synthesized by catalytical rearrangement of dehydrolinalool in toluene solution with the present of molybdenyl acetylacetonate, benzoic acid and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
The oils were analyzed by GC-MS and percentages were obtained by normalized peak areas, where main components are nootkatone, D-limonene, osthole, cis-linaloloxide, furfural, and trans.
