Preparation

(+)-Menthofuran [17957-94-7] is isolated fromMentha oils or is prepared synthetically, for example, by treatment of (+)-pulegone with fuming sulfuric acid in acetic anhydride and pyrolysis of the resulting sultone.

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: musty, nutty, coffee, raw and legume

Synthesis Reference(s)

The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 48, p. 2442, 1983 DOI: 10.1021/jo00162a037
