Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Menthone® is used in minty notes, for a deep and liquorice note. Allows to nuance the cold sensation of L-Menthol and L-Carvone in a mint reconstitution. Gives a very sweet and frosty mint effect.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
The natural production of Menthone® can be made from a dementholised Corn Mint EO (see L-Menthol).
Isomerism :
Menthone® is a mixture of two pairs of dextrorotatory and laevorotatory isomers: Menthone® and Isomenthone. Isomenthone has a more moldy smell than Menthone®. These two enantiomers have a strong tendency to interchange, making it difficult to separate them from synthetic Menthone® or from an essential oil. In the synthesis of Menthone®, the isomers of the molecules can be selected by changing the synthesis conditions or the starting reagent (for example, dehydrogenated or oxidized L-Menthol gives a mixture of L-Menthone® and D-isomenthone). Linalool, Nerol, Geraniol and Terpineol are some of the constitutional isomers of Menthone®. Nevertheless, they have a much more floral or terpenic smell, far from the frosty mint note of Menthone®.
Synthesis precursor :
Menthone® is a precursor to the synthesis of Menthol by catalytic hydrogenation, forming NeoMenthol and Menthol.
