(R)-Piperitone
(R)-Piperitone is found in cornmint. (R)-Piperitone is a constituent of Mentha species and Zanthoxylum piperitum (Japanese pepper tree) oil.Piperitone is a natural monoterpene ketone which is a component of some essential oils. Both stereoisomers, the D-form and the L-form, are known. The D-form has a peppermint-like aroma and has been isolated from the oils of plants from the genera Cymbopogon, Andropogon, and Mentha. The L-form has been isolated from Sitka spruce. (Wikipedia) Common constituent of Mentha subspecies oils

The L-form has been isolated from Sitka spruce. (Wikipedia Piperitone is 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. It has a role as a volatile oil component and a plant metabolite. It is a p-menthane monoterpenoid and a cyclic terpene ketone. Piperitone is a natural product found in Clinopodium dalmaticum, Eucalyptus fasciculosa, and other organisms with data available. 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. Flavouring ingredient Piperitone is as a powerful repellent and antiappetent agent. Piperitone is very toxic to Cymbopogon schoenanthus (C. schoenanthus) adults, newly laid eggs and to neonate larvae. Insecticidal activity[1].

Isopiperitenone
Isopiperitenone, also known as 3-methyl-6-(1-methylethenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-one or 6-isopropenyl-3-methyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one, is a member of the class of compounds known as menthane monoterpenoids. Menthane monoterpenoids are monoterpenoids with a structure based on the o-, m-, or p-menthane backbone. P-menthane consists of the cyclohexane ring with a methyl group and a (2-methyl)-propyl group at the 1 and 4 ring position, respectively. The o- and m- menthanes are much rarer, and presumably arise by alkyl migration of p-menthanes. Isopiperitenone is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Isopiperitenone can be found in dill and spearmint, which makes isopiperitenone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
