Citronellal

My molecule for the project is citronellal. I wanted citric acid because I like oranges and lemons and other citrus fruits, but it was taken. So, I settled with citronellal since it has to do with lemons which is close enough to citric acid. It reminds me of my lemon gum so I'm thinking there might be citronellal in my Orbit Lemon-Line gum but I'm not sure it's edible...this is the point of this project though to find out more about a certain molecule! I need to get working on this this weekend since it's due next week!
