Preparation of Menthol: It can be obtained from peppermint or other mint oils. It also can be produced by the following method:
Uses of Menthol: It is widely used to relieve minor throat irritation. It is not only used to produce cooling oil and pain killer, but also used in making toothpaste, tooth powder, candy, beverages, spices, etc. In addition, it also react with acetic acid anhydride to get Isomentholacetat. This reaction needs reagent TaCl5-SiO2 and solvent CH2Cl2 at ambient temperature. The yield is 79%.
