Uses
Other comments :
Thiomenthone® is one of the most powerful molecule used in perfumery, as Grapefruit Mercaptan.
Stability :
Stable in perfumes and diverse functional bases
Uses in perfumery :
Thiomenthone® is used in grapefruit accords, exotic fruits, green, white flowers, red fruits and peach notes. Provides a powerful head note.
Year of discovery :
1968
Isomerism :
The asymmetric carbon of Thiomenthone® gives rise to two enantiomers (R) and (S). However, it is the racemic mixture of the two enantiomers that is used in perfumery.
Synthesis precursor :
Thiomenthone® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Natural availability :
Thiomenthone® is present in Buchu EO in its natural state, in very small quantities.
Synthesis route :
Thiomenthone® is synthesized by reaction between Pulegone and hydrogen sulfide in the presence of a base such as triethylamine.
