Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid. Sp.Gr. 0.93. Slightly soluble Glycerin. Soluble in alcohol, Propylene glycol and oils. Mildly minty and somewhat woody-herbaceous odor.

Occurrence

Reported to be found in peppermint oil (Guenther, 1949)

Uses

DL-MENTHYL ACETATE is used in the same way as the lcrevo-Menthylacetate, but it is inferior when it comes to cooling mouthfeel and delicately floral-fresh notes (e. g. for Muguet, etc.), It finds some use in soap perfumes, where price is a heavy factor, but it is not frequently used in flavor compositions.

Preparation

By direct esterification of racemic menthol with acetic acid under azeotropic conditions (Arctander, 1969)
