Perfumes mints

Reaction of ketones and a,a-dimethoxyketones in the presence of TiCl4-Bu3N led to the formation of a,p-unsaturated lactones, which were converted to 2,3,4-trisubstituted furans. One of the examples is the preparation of menthofuran, the natural mint perfume <02CC2542>.

The mint family is sometimes called the Lamiaceae. It consists chiefly of cosmopolitan herbs prominent in the area from the Mediterranean to central Asia. The mints have long been used in medicine, as spices, and in some perfumes. They are familiar kitchen herbs (mint, basil, oregano, etc.). Many are cultivated as ornamentals. 

Some flavouring compounds are also perfumes and may also be used as an intermediate in making other compounds. Two such large-scale flavouring compounds are vanillin (vanilla flavour as in ice cream) and menthol (mint flavour) both manufactured on a large scale and with many uses. 

Products and Uses An additive in perfume, fungicides, disinfectants, citrus fruit, mint, and spice flavorings for beverages, ice desserts, candies, bakery goods, and spicy condiments. A natural oil that has been synthesized. Also used as a flavoring and as a germicide. 

Products and Uses Frequently used in beverages, ice desserts, candies, gum, bakery goods, perfumes, toilet soaps, OTC (over-the-counter) medications, candy mints, and breath mints. Flavoring for liqueur, mints, and spices. This (/-) form occurs principally in spearmint oil.

(ca. 35%) occurs in the essential oil of field mint (Mentha arvensis, Lamiaceae), (-i-)-M. in Micromelia biflora (Lamiaceae) ca. 56%, (-i-)-iso-M. in Micromelia abyssinica ca. 42%, and (-)-iso-M. in geranium oil (Pelargonium spp., Geraniaceae). p-M. is used in perfumes as a mixture with other fragrance substances.

By far the most significant sources of menthone are the dementhohzed oils from corn-mint and peppermint. Synthetic material is available from oxidation of menthol, from carene (Fig. 8.35) and from hydrogenation of thymol (317), but this accounts for only 30 of the 1330 tonnes of menthone produced annually (316). Menthone is used in mint reconstitutions and to some extent in other essential oil reconstitutions and perfumes. 

Other materials used similarly include piperitone (194) and pulegone (187). The former is usually isolated from the oil of Eucalyptus dives, but some is also synthesized from limonene (82). It has a fresh minty, camphoraceous note, and finds some use in perfumes (largely for masking), but more in flavors, such as caraway and tarragon. It is also used as a mint flavor ingredient in oral care products. 

The mint oils (especially spearmint oil) are commonly used as fragrance components in toothpastes, mouthwashes, gargles, soaps, detergents, creams, lotions, and perfumes. Maximum use levels reported for spearmint and commint oils are 0.4-0.8%, respectively, in perfumes. ... 

Synthetic Study on Macrocyclic Musks, Mints, and Jasmine Perfumes Utilizing Ti-Claisen and Aldol... 

We developed powerfiil Ti- or Zr-Claisen condensation between esters and direct crossed Ti-aldol addition between ketones and ketones or aldehydes. These reactions were successfully applied to the short and practical method for synthesizing some natural macrocyclic musks (civetone and muscone), mints (mintlactone and menthofuran), and a jasmine perfume. 

Most of you have smelled the strong odor emanating from freshly crushed plant leaves or orange peels. This odor is due to the liberation of a mixture of volatile compounds called terpenes, usually containing 10, 15, or 20 carbon atoms. Well over 30,000 terpenes are found in nature. They are used as food flavorings (the extracts from cloves and mint), as perfumes (roses, lavender, sandalwood), and as solvents (turpentine).
