Abstract
A novel process for converting myrcene to a key palladium-myrcene complex using palladium (II) chloride in the presence of an aqueous cycloamide solvent and lithium salt is disclosed. Novel processes for converting the palladium-myrcene complex to citral using a phosphine compound, or to nerol using a nitrogen-donor compound in the presence of hydrogen gas, are also presented.
