Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (4R,7S)-4-Methyl-7-(1-methylethyl)-2-Oxepanone (4R,7S)-4-methyl-7-(1-methylethyl)oxepan-2-one (4R,7S)-4-methyl-7-(propan-2-yl)oxepan-2-one (4R,7S)-7-isopropyl-4-methyloxepan-2-one (4R-trans)-4-methyl-7-(1-methylethyl)-2-oxepanone (4R-trans)-7-isopropyl-4-methyloxepan-2-one 68330-67-6 CHEBI:50250 Mentholactone is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 170.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
