Chemistry & Uses

Chemistry & Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Natural availability :

Isopulegol is a molecule commonly found in nature. It is present in concentrations from 0.5% to 1.7% in citronella Java EO, as well as in several species of the Citrus genus as well as the majority of essential oils from the Mentha genus. It can also be found in Abies balsamea, Picea mariana, and various eucalyptus species.

Isomerism :

Data not available.

Synthesis precursor :

Koumalactone can be obtained from isopulegol through epoxidation. Dihydromintlactone can be obtained from isopulegol via ozonolysis. Menthol can also be derived from isopulegol. The process is as follows: Citral -> Distillation to separate Geranial/Neral -> Chiral catalysis to produce (R)-Citronellal -> Acid catalysis to create isopulegol -> Hydrogenation to produce (-)-Menthol.

Synthesis route :

Isopulegol can be obtained thanks to acidic catalysis of (R)-Citronellal

Stability :

Isopulegol is quite stable in all kind of applications
