描述
Neodihydrocarveol, also known as (1r,2s,4r)-neo-dihydrocarveol or (1s,2r,5r)-5-isopropenyl-2-methylcyclohexanol, 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, neodihydrocarveol is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Neodihydrocarveol is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Neodihydrocarveol can be found in caraway and spearmint, which makes neodihydrocarveol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
