Synthesen in der Carotinoid‐Reihe. 11. Mitteilung. α,β‐Ungesättigte Carbonylverbindungen aus Allylhalogeniden mittels Nitroparaffinen

Abstract
Starting with linaloöl, citral has been prepared by reacting a geranyl halide with alkali salts of nitro paraffines. By the same method other α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds were obtained, which are useful intermediates for the synthesis of carotenoids.
