(R)-Menthofuran
Menthofuran is a monoterpenoid that is 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzofuran substituted by methyl groups at positions 3 and 6. It has a role as a nematicide and a plant metabolite. It is a member of 1-benzofurans and a monoterpenoid. Menthofuran is a natural product found in Methanobacterium and Mentha pulegium with data available. Constituent of peppermint oil (Mentha piperita) and other Mentha subspecies as minor but essential organoleptic. It is used in peppermint oil formulations. (R)-Menthofuran is found in mentha (mint), orange mint, and herbs and spices. (R)-Menthofuran is found in herbs and spices. (R)-Menthofuran is a constituent of peppermint oil (Mentha piperita) and other Mentha species as minor but essential organoleptic. (R)-Menthofuran is used in peppermint oil formulations A monoterpenoid that is 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzofuran substituted by methyl groups at positions 3 and 6.
Menthofuran
A menthofuran that is 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzofuran substituted by methyl groups at positions 3 and 6 (the 6R-enantiomer). (r)-menthofuran, also known as 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-3,6-dimethylbenzofuran or 3,9-epoxy-P-mentha-3,8-diene, is a member of the class of compounds known as aromatic monoterpenoids. Aromatic monoterpenoids are monoterpenoids containing at least one aromatic ring (r)-menthofuran is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). (r)-menthofuran is a coffee, earthy, and musty tasting compound found in herbs and spices, mentha (mint), and orange mint, which makes (r)-menthofuran a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products (r)-menthofuran can be found primarily in saliva.
