General description

(−)-Isopulegol belongs to the class of terpene compounds occuring in various plant species.

Application

(−)-Isopulegol may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of (−)-isopulegol in:
  • Complex commercial sample matrices by gas chromatography coupled to vacuum ultraviolet detector (GC-VUV).
  • Mentha piperita and M. arvensis essential oils by enantioselective GC.
  • Urine samples by high performance liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS).

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Other Notes

This compound is commonly found in plants of the genus: mentha
Monoterpenoid chiral building block, hydroboration to a 1,4-diol
