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.
