Descriptionalpha-Sinensal, also known as α-sinensal or (2E,6E,9E)-2,6,10-trimethyl-2,6,9,11-dodecatetraenal, is a member of the class of compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. alpha-Sinensal is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). alpha-Sinensal is a constituent of orange oil. It plays an important role in the overall flavour and aroma of orange fruit.
