Anticarsia gemmatalis caterpillar is controlled with synthetic insecticides, which cause environmental pollution and insect resistance, new compounds low impact, need to be investigated. Toxicity, survival, locomotion, feeding, midgut histopathology of A. caterpillars exposed lemongrass essential oil (LEO) its components (citral geranyl acetate) were The are toxic survival decreasing according ...

The synthesis of citronellal, an added-value chemical for perfumery, was performed through selective and green hydrogenation citral into citronellal in water. Aqueous suspensions spherical ammonium-capped palladium nanoparticles with sizes around 3 nm selectively reduced the conjugated carbon–carbon double bond. An excellent selectivity up to 97% achieved at complete conversion presence potassi...

Background: The main constituents of Cymbopogonnardus (L) Rendle and C. citratus (DC) Stapfessential oils are (R)-citronellal and citral, respectively. Organochalcogen compounds can boost the biological activities of natural products. Methods: Several chalcogen-containing nitrones derived from (R)-citronellal and citral were prepared and evaluated for their antimicrobial and antioxidant activit...
