Description
- Menthyl acetate (ma), a monoterpene is one of the main constituent of the peppermint essential oil obtained from the leaves of mentha piperita
- It has been reported to show ambulation-promoting effect in mice
- Its fumigant and repellent activity has been evaluated on first-instar nymphs of the bloodsucking bug rhodnius prolixus
- The decomposition of ma in an atmospheric flow reactor and a low-pressure flat flame has been investigated by molecular-beam mass spectrometry (mbms).menthyl acetate may be used in the preparation of 3-amino-2-hydroxyalkanoates via lithium amide-supported mannich-type reaction of its lithium enolate with pmp-arylaldimines (pmp=p-methoxyphenyl) followed by in situ oxidation with oxaziridine
