描述
Dihydrocarveol, also known as 2-methyl-5-(1-methylethenyl)cyclohexanol or 6-methyl-3-isopropenylcyclohexanol, 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. Dihydrocarveol is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Dihydrocarveol is a herbal, menthol, and minty tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as pot marjoram, caraway, wild celery, and dill, which makes dihydrocarveol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
