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.

As an organic compound, Cinnamyl alcohol has a very distinct sweet, spicy, hyacinth odour that is found in resins, balsams and cinnamon leaves. It is used commonly in the fragrance industry due to its distinctive odour, which can be applied as a deodorant, fragrance and additive in cosmetic products and in the formulation of bath products, body and hand products, such as soaps, toothpaste, deodorants, etc. Besides, it also finds application as a food additive in chewing gum, bakery products, candy and soft drinks. Naturally, Cinnamyl alcohol is occurrent only in small amount, thus its industrial demand is usually fulfilled by chemical synthesis starting from the reduction of cinnamaldehyde.
