Natural menthol exists as one pure stereoisomer, nearly always the (1R,2S,5R) form ((-)-menthol). There are 8 possible stereoisomers. 1-methyl-4-isopropyl-3-hydroxycyclohexane 2-Isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol 3-Hydroxy-p-menthane 3-p-Menthanol 3-p-menthol 4-isopropyl-1-methylcyclohexan-3-ol 5-Methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-cyclohexanol 5-Methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)cyclohexanol Cyclohexanol, 5-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)- Menthol C10H20O 156.2652 156.151415262 5-methyl-2-(propan-2-yl)cyclohexan-1-ol menthol natural 1490-04-6 CC(C)C1CCC(C)CC1O InChI=1S/C10H20O/c1-7(2)9-5-4-8(3)6-10(9)11/h7-11H,4-6H2,1-3H3 NOOLISFMXDJSKH-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as menthane monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids with a structure based on the o-, m-, or p-menthane backbone. P-menthane consists of the cyclohexane ring with a methyl group and a (2-methyl)-propyl group at the 1 and 4 ring position, respectively. The o- and m- menthanes are much rarer, and presumably arise by alkyl migration of p-menthanes.
