描述
(+)-dihydrocarveol, also known as (1s,2s,5s)-5-isopropenyl-2-methylcyclohexanol or (1s,2s,4s)-menth-8-en-2-ol, is a member of the class of compounds known as menthane monoterpenoids. Menthane monoterpenoids 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. Thus, (+)-dihydrocarveol is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule (+)-dihydrocarveol is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). (+)-dihydrocarveol can be found in caraway, which makes (+)-dihydrocarveol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
