Overview
Undecanal is a saturated fatty aldehyde formally arising from reduction of the carboxylic acid group of undecanoic acid. It is a component of essential oils from citrus plants like Citrus reticulata. It has a role as a volatile oil component, an antimycobacterial drug and a plant metabolite. It is a n-alkanal, a saturated fatty aldehyde and a medium-chain fatty aldehyde. It is a tautomer of an undec-1-en-1-ol.
