Usage

General Description

L-Menthyl methacrylate is a chemical compound derived from the menthol plant with a molecular formula of C13H22O2. It is commonly used as a flavoring agent and fragrance in cosmetic and personal care products. L-MENTHYL METHACRYLATE is also utilized in the production of polymer resins for dental materials and adhesives. L-Menthyl methacrylate exhibits a strong minty aroma and is known for its cooling sensation when applied to the skin, making it a popular ingredient in oral care and topical products. However, it is important to handle this chemical with caution as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes, and should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area.

VCD study of synthetic chiral polymers: stereoregularity in poly-menthyl methacrilate

Menthyl metacrylate (MnMA) was polymerized both by free radical and anionic initiators in order to obtain polymers with low (poly-MnMA-rad) and high (poly-MnMA-an) isotactic content, respectively, and their VCD spectra were measured as CCl4 solutions between 1650-850 cm-1.Common growth of all VCD intensities, observed in the spectrum of poly-MnMA-an, indicate more and/or longer helical segments.The VCD spectra also revealed that the vibrations of the chain are most sensitive to changes in stereoregularity.

Optically-active, amhiphilic, water-soluble free-radical addition copolymers and their use in the resolution of racemic mixtures

Optically-active, amphiphilic, free-radical addition copolymers having an optically-active hydrophobic portion and an ionic hydrophilic portion are effective resolving agents. This utility is based on a unique combination of properties, viz., water solubility, chirality and amphiphilicity, i.e., having a dual hydrophobic and hydrophilic nature.
