General description
(1R,2S,5R)-(-)-Menthol is a monoterpene.
Application
(1R,2S,5R)-(-)-Menthol may be used to synthesize:
- chiral enantiopure 2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)pyridines, which can react with to form C3-symmetric tripodal ligands
- menthylphosphorodichioridite, a chiral derivatizing agent for the determination of enantiomeric purity of chiral diols or diamines by 31P NMR spectroscopy
- (2R,4S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-(-)-menthyloxy-2-methyl-4-phenylpyrano-[3,2-c]-benzopyran-5-one, an intermediate to prepare a warfarin analog
Used to prepare reagents for chiral vinylogous Darzens and Reformatsky reactions. Important chiral auxiliary employed in the resolution of acids and for stereocontrolled synthesis.
