Abstract

Citronellal, an acyclic monoterpenoid, is a small molecule suitable for systematic scanning of its conformational geometric parameters in solution or in the gas phase. We have studied the conformational distribution of citronellal by correlating its structure and theoretical chemical shifts with nuclear magnetic resonance data. Interestingly, folded conformations were the most relevant, as confirmed by NOE experiments. We concluded that the conformational distribution is due to intramolecular dispersion interactions.
