摘要:
The present invention relates to a particularly economic overall method for producing menthol, specifically for producing optically active, essentially enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure L-menthol and racemic menthol, starting from the starting material citral which is available inexpensively on an industrial scale. The method comprises the following stepsa) catalytic hydrogenation of neral and/or geranial to give citronellal,b) cyclization of citronellal to isopulegol in the presence of an acidic catalyst,c) purification of isopulegol by crystallization andd) catalytic hydrogenation of isopulegol to give menthol.

The present invention relates to a method of working up an aluminum-containing reaction product from the production of isopulegol by cyclization of citronellal in the presence of complex compounds, comprising at least one ligand of the formula (I), where R1, R2, R3 are chosen from hydrogen, halogen, nitro, C1-C8-alkyl, C1-C8-alkoxy, di(C1-C4-alkyl)amino and aryl; R4, R5 are chosen from halogen, nitro, C1-C8-alkyl, C1-C8-alkoxy, di(C1-C4-alkyl)amino, aryl or heteroaryl; in which a) the reaction product is subjected to distillative separation to obtain an isopulegol-enriched top product and an isopulegol-depleted bottom product and b) the ligand of the formula (I) is separated off from the bottom product. Moreover, the invention relates to a method of producing isopulegol, and to a method of producing menthol.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a continuous process for preparing racemic or optically active menthol in pure or enriched form by distillatively separating menthol from substance mixtures which comprise essentially menthol and diastereomers thereof. This distillatiive separation is performed in a dividing wall column with 50 to 300 theoretical plates and one or more side draw points at an absolute operating pressure of 5 to 500 mbar.
