Product Details

Menthol CAS#15356-70-4

Racemic menthol is a mixture of equal parts of the (1R,2S,5R)- and (1S,2R,5S)-isomers of menthol. It is a free-flowing or agglomerated crystalline powder, or colorless, prismatic, or acicular shiny crystals, or hexagonal or fused masses with a strong characteristic odor and taste. The crystalline form may change with time owing to sublimation within a closed vessel. The USP 32 specifies that menthol may be either naturally occurring l-menthol or syntheti-cally prepared racemic or dl-menthol. However, the JP XV and PhEur 6.0, along with other pharmacopeias, include two separate monographs for racemic and l-menthol.

Product Application of Menthol CAS#15356-70-4

Menthol has three asymmetric carbon atoms in its cyclohexane ring and, therefore, occurs as four pairs of optical isomers.The configurations of four of these isomers are given; the other four are their mirror images.(1R,3R,4S)-()-Menthol,,; (1R,3S,4S)-(+)-neomenthol,; (1R,3S,4R)-(+)- isomenthol,; (1R,3R,4R)-(+)-neoisomenthol,. ()-Menthol is the isomer that occurs most widely in nature. It is the main component of peppermint and cornmint oils obtained from the Mentha piperita and Mentha arvensis species. Esterified menthol also occurs in these oils (e.g., as the acetate and isovalerate).Other menthol stereoisomers may be present in these oils as well.
