Abstract
Abstract 3,6‐Dimethyl‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydro‐benzo[b]‐furan‐2(3H)‐one (= menthofurolactone), first reported as a by‐product in the oxidation of menthofuran and hitherto unknown in nature, is shown to be naturally occurring in Mentha piperita L. essential oil. In addition to a description of its synthesis and organoleptic properties, the key role of menthofurolactone in the flavour profile of peppermint oil is demonstrated by mint oil analysis and olfactory studies.
