- Description
- Undecyl aldehyde is a saturated fatty aldehyde formally arising from reduction of the carboxylic acid group of undecanoic acid. It is a colourless, oily liquid. It is a component of essential oils from citrus plants like Citrus reticulata. It has a role as an antimycobacterial drug, a volatile oil component and a plant metabolite. Undecanal is used in the perfume industry and for the syntheses of pharmaceuticals, fungicides, plant growth regulators, bactericides and disinfectants.
