It exists naturally in lemongrass oil, lemon oil, white lime oil, citrus oil, litsea cubeba oil, and verbena oil. The content of lemongrass oil and litsea cubeba oil in natural essential oils is 70-80%, and it can be obtained by low-temperature distillation from the essential oils.The method of synthesizing citral in industry is based on the synthesis of methyl heptenone, and 3,7-dimethylocten-6-yn-1-ol-3 (dehydrolinalool) is prepared from methyl heptenone and acetylene. Then, in the presence of a polymerized silicon sulfone catalyst, dehydrolinalool is directly rearranged in an inert solvent at 140-150°C. In addition, citral can be prepared from industrial geraniol (and nerol) by dehydrogenation in the gas phase with a copper catalyst under reduced pressure.

It is used in the preparation of artificial lemon oil, citrus oil, and other citrus flavors, fruit flavors, cherry, coffee, plum and other food flavors. It is also widely used in tableware detergents, soaps, and perfumes. Citral is a raw material for synthesizing ionone, methyl ionone, dihydrodamascone, etc.; as an organic raw material, it can be reduced to citronellol, nerol and geraniol; it can also be converted into lemon nitrile
