What is (-)-MENTHYL CHLORIDE?
The Uses of (-)-MENTHYL CHLORIDE
2-Chloro-4-methyl-1-(1-methylethyl)-Cyclohexane is a useful building block for organic synthesis.
Purification Methods
Dissolve menthyl chloride in pet ether (b 40-60o), wash with H2O, conc H2SO4 until no discoloration of the organic layer occurs (care with conc H2SO4 during shaking in a separating funnel), again with H2O and dry it (MgSO4). Evaporate and distil the residual oil through a Claisen head with a Vigreux neck ( p 11) of ca 40 cm length. [Smith & Wright J Org Chem 17 1116 1952, Barton et al.
