COMPOSITION OF MENTHOL AND MENTHYL LACTATE, ITS PREPARATION AND ITS USE AS A COOLING, FLAVOURING AND/OR FRAGRANCE AGENT

The present invention relates to a method of preparing liquid compositions essentially consisting of menthol and menthyl lactate and the use of such compositions as a cooling agent, flavouring agent and/or fragrance agent, products containing such compositions and methods of providing a physiological cooling effect by applying such compositions.

ON THE ASYMMETRIC INDUCTION INVOLVING LITHIUM ENOLATES OF 1-MENTHYLPROPIONATE

The stereoselectivities of the reaction between 1-menthylpropionate 1 with LDA under standard kinetic conditions depend on the solvent.The Z-enolate 2a predominates in LDA/THF (Z/E=7.5/2.5) while the E-enolate 3a is the main product in LDA/THF/hexane (E/Z=8/2).The mixture of these enolates (E/Z=8/2) was allowed to react with allylbromide, benzaldehyde and MoOPH respectively.The higher ?-facial diastereoselection was obtained from MoOPH (d.e.=60percent).
