A novel process for converting myrcene to citral using palladium (II) chloride in the presence of an inert aqueous alkylamide solvent and a metal oxoanionic salt at a temperature of at least about 80 DEG C. is disclosed. A novel process for converting a palladium-myrcene complex to citral using a metal oxoanionic salt in the presence of an inert aqueous organic solvent is also disclosed.
