(R)-(+)-Pulegone, a monoterpene ketone found in essential oil of pennyroyal,[1] can induce abortion. (R)-(+)-Pulegone may be used as a starting material to synthesize: · (2S,4R,6R,8S)-2,4,8-trimethyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane, a spiroketal · (R)-(+)-citronellic acid, an intermediate to prepare leucine-d3 · (+)-fawcettidine, a Lycopodium alkaloid
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as menthane monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids with a structure based on the o-, m-, or p-menthane backbone. P-menthane consists of the cyclohexane ring with a methyl group and a (2-methyl)-propyl group at the 1 and 4 ring position, respectively. The o- and m- menthanes are much rarer, and presumably arise by alkyl migration of p-menthanes.
