Chemical Properties
Colorless liquid. Sp.Gr. 0.93. Slightly soluble Glycerin. Soluble in alcohol, Propylene glycol and oils. Mildly minty and somewhat woody-herbaceous odor.
Occurrence
Reported to be found in peppermint oil (Guenther, 1949)
Uses

Preparation
By direct esterification of racemic menthol with acetic acid under azeotropic conditions (Arctander, 1969)
