Citral Oxidation and Reduction Reactions in Organic Chemistry
The oxidation of citral with moist Ag2O yields geranic acid with the same number of carbon atoms. On the other hand, reduction of citral with Na-amalgam in dilute acid results in the formation of a primary alcohol. These reactions showcase important transformations in organic chemistry, specifically highlighting the conversion of citral into geranic acid and a primary alcohol through oxidation and reduction processes.

Presentation Transcript
(b) General oxidation of citral with moist Ag2O produces geranic acid containing same number of carbon atoms as that of citral.
c) On reduction with Na-amalgam in dilute acid, citral produces a primary alcohol.
