What is L-Menthyl acetate?
Chemical properties
(1R)-(-)-Menthyl acetate occurs in peppermint oils. It is a colorless liquid with a fresh, fruity,
peppermint odor.
(?)-Menthyl acetate is prepared by acetylation of (?)-menthol (e.g., with acetic
anhydride). It is used mainly in peppermint flavors and reconstituted peppermint
oils, but also to a small extent in perfumery.
The Uses of L-Menthyl acetate
L-Menthyl Acetate, and its derivatives, is used as a penetration enhancers, to enhance the skin permeation of various drugs with differing lipophilicities, such as 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN), lidocaine (LD), etc.
