L-Menthol CAS #2216-51-5
Menthol, also known as hexahydrothymol, is commonly known as L-menthol, and its scientific name is 5-methyl-2-isopropyl-cyclohexanol. It is a very important cycloterpene alcohol. L-menthol has a characteristic mint aroma and has a cooling effect. Racemic ?C menthol also has a cooling effect, while other isomers have no cooling effect. L-menthol accounts for a large proportion of applications in medicine and health. It can be used as poultice, ointment, analgesic, local anesthetic, cooling agent, antipruritic agent, mouthwash, bactericide, and for the treatment of toothache, Tablets for stomach pain, neuralgia, etc.; the second largest use is spices.

Cis ?C 3-Methyl-4-octanolide, also known as cis- ??- methyl- ??- Octalactone or 5-butyldihydro-4-methylfuran-2 (3 H) ?C one, a compound of lactone family, chemical formula C9H16O2. It exists as two optical isomers: 3 R, 4 R (??+??) and 3 S, 4 S (??-??).
3S, 4S isomers, commonly known as whisky lactone or oak lactone, are important components in the aroma of whisky (first discovered by Suomalainen and Nyk ? nen in 1970) and other alcoholic beverages aged in oak barrels. It is sometimes added to wine as a flavoring. It has the aroma of coconut, celery or fresh wood, and can be detected by human body when the concentration in the air is 1 microgram/l. The mixture of cis and trans isomers can repel mosquitoes and flies.
