Description

General description

(1S,2R,5S)-(+)-menthol is a chiral secondary alcohol. Its alcohol group can be protected as 2-tetrahydrofuranyl ether by reacting with bromotrichloromethane and tetrahydrofuran.

Application

(1S,2R,5S)-(+)-menthol can undergo acylation with acid anhydrides in the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate to form the corresponding acylated products.

Menthol, which creates mint flavor and scent, is often added to tobacco in both menthol and nonmenthol cigarettes. A potent tobacco carcinogen, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), is extensively metabolized to its equally carcinogenic metabolite 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL) as (R)- or (S)-NNAL enantiomers.
