| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Colorless mobile liquid. Easily oxidized in air and daylight, and it will become darker of color, more viscous.Sweet, haylike-minty odor, sometimes referred to as "Lactone"-odor.
| [Uses]
(R)-(+)-Menthofuran is a potential precursor of p-?menthane lactone in red wines. Menthofuran is a monoterpene found in mint plants that is oxidized by mammalian cytochrome P 450 (CYP)?1 to hepatotoxic metabolites. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A menthofuran that is 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzofuran substituted by methyl groups at positions 3 and 6 (the 6R-enantiomer). | [Preparation]
(+)-Menthofuran is prepared by isolation from "high-Menthofuran"- bearing Mentha piperita oils.
| [Solubility in organics]
Soluble in alcohol and oils. |
