Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method enabling to manufacture optically active menthol, desirably L-menthol and racemic menthol in a variety of quantity according to the demand without changing an enantioselective catalyst system and/or without excessively obtaining one of products for need of changing a reaction condition.SOLUTION: A method for producing menthol includes a process (a. 1) of obtaining a citronellal by catalyst-hydrogenation of a neral and/or a geranial, a process (b. 1) of obtaining an isopulegol by cyclizing citronellal in the presence of an acid catalyst, a process (c. 1) of purifying the isopulegol by crystallization, and a process (d. 1) of producing menthol by catalyst-hydrogenation of the isopulegol.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a particularly economic, complete method for producing menthol, especially for the production of optically active, essentially enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure L-menthol and of racemic menthol starting from the commercially accessible, inexpensive parent material citral. The method comprises the following steps: a.1 ) catalytic hydrogenation of neral and/or geranial to form citronellal, b.1 ) cyclisation of citronellal to form isopulegol in the presence of an acidic catalyst, c.1 ) purification of isopulegol by crystallisation and d.1 ) catalytic hydrogenation of isopulegol to form menthol.
