The study focuses on the stereoselective synthesis and organoleptic properties of p-menthane lactones (7a-h), a class of compounds with significant interest to the perfume industry due to their exceptional odor intensity and typical coumarin-like note. The research corrects published data concerning these compounds and identifies 7a, 7b, and 7g as trace components in Italo Mitcham black peppermint oil (Mentha piperita). Various chemicals were used in the study, including (-)-isopulegol, (+)-neoisopulegol, m-chloroperbenzoic acid, lithium diisopropylamide (LDA), potassium permanganate, Raney nickel, and several others, serving as starting materials, reagents, and catalysts in the synthesis of the lactones. The purpose of these chemicals was to facilitate the synthesis of the p-menthane lactones, allowing for their characterization and evaluation of their sensory properties, which are crucial for their potential use in the perfume and flavoring industries.
