What is PIPERITONE?
The Uses of PIPERITONE
Piperitone is a monoterpene compound that has a fresh minty camphor-like odour, and naturally occurs in extracts of commercial oil of peppermint. Piperitone is also used as a starting material in the synthesis of Thymol (T413000), a phenolic compound that is used for its antibacterial properties.
Definition
ChEBI: A p-menthane monoterpenoid that is cyclohex-2-en-1-one substituted by a methyl group at position 3 and an isopropyl group at position 6.
Production Methods
Piperitone is produced:
by isolation from Japanese Mint oil (dextro-Piperitone),
by isolation from Eucalyptus dives oil (laevo-Piperitone),
by hydrogenation of Diosphenol,
by reduction of 5-Methyl-2-iso-propylanisole with Sodium in liquid Ammonia.
laevo-Piperitone can also be produced from laevo-beta-Pinene via l-Limonene, by hydrogenation to /-Carvomenthene, and via 4 further intermediate steps to Piperitone.
