Chim.p-Mentha-195-dien-8-01 (3a) and p-mentha-l(7),2-dien-8-01 (3b) were isolated from deteriorated citral as major components and were identified by IR, EI-MS, FI-MS, ' H NMR, and 13C NMR. When 3a or 3b was treated with aqueous citric acid, an equlibrium mixture of 3a-3b isomers (55:45) resulted and both isomers were subsequently converted to p-cymen-8-01(6) by disproportionation and redox reactions.
