When kept airborne, it not just provides isopulegol however also is partly oxidized to (+)-citronellal acid and types peroxide. Hydroquinone can be added to inhibit its oxidation. Citronellal acid is oxidized with silver oxide in aqueous ammonia and hydrogenated with platinum black in 75% ethanol to provide 2,6-dimethyloctanal. (+)-citronellol or (+)-dihydrocitronellol can be obtained at space temperature with nickel catalysis. Grignard reaction can additionally take place.
