CARVEOL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid

Chemical Properties

Carveol has spearmint-like odor.

Occurrence

In small amounts, sometimes esterified, it has been reported present in caraway seeds, spearmint, orange juice, mango and eucalyptus oil.

Uses

Carveol, is a constituent of spearmint essential oil in the form of cis-(?)-carveol. It can be used as a fragrance ingredient, and as a flavor additive in the food industry. It is also found that its alpha-trans-dihydroxy derivative, possesses potent antiparkinsonian activity in animal models.

Definition

ChEBI: A limonene monoterpenoid that is cyclohex-2-en-1-ol substituted by a methyl group at position 2 and a prop-1-en-2-yl group at position 5.

Aroma threshold values

Detection: 4 ppm

General Description

Clear colorless liquid. Insoluble in water.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: Toxic.

Synthesis

The various d-, l- and dl- (cis- and trans-, respectively) forms have been prepared synthetically and isolated by means of the dinitrobenzoates according to Amvers’ law. They are prepared by oxidation of limonene or, better, from carvone.
