Biochem/physiol Actions
Taste at 50 ppm
Synthesis
1) Preparation of the chiral catalyst [RuCl(S)-XylBINAP(S)-DAIPEN].
2) Selective hydrogenation: D-Pulegone is hydrogenated at 70C under 100 atm H pressure for 23 h in the presence of the catalyst. After removing solvents, levomenthol is obtained by distillation under reduced pressure.
