Application

(R)-(−)-Citronellylbromide can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
  • (R)-3,7-dimethyloct-6-ene-1-amine via Gabriel synthesis which is then condensed with dicarboxylic acids to synthesize retro amides.
  • Citronellyl derivatives of sulfoximines and sulfondiimines via alkylation using potassium hydroxide and dimethyl sulfoxide.
  • Citronellyltriphenylphosphonium bromide which can be used as a key intermediate to synthesize (+)-caparratriene via Witting reaction.
