Menthol USP Grade Specifications
C10H20O --- 156.27
Cyclohexanol, 5-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)- [CAS 1490-04-6].
Menthol is an alcohol obtained from diverse mint oils or prepared synthetically.
Menthol may be levorotatory (l-Menthol), from natural or synthetic sources, or racemic (dl-Menthol).
Packaging and storage: Preserve in tight containers, preferably at controlled room temperature.
Labeling: Label it to indicate whether it is levorotatory or racemic.
Identification: When it is triturated with about an equal weight of camphor, of chloral hydrate, or of phenol, the mixture liquefies.
Melting range of l-Menthol: between 41 and 44C.
Congealing range of dl-Menthol: [NOTE—Perform this test preferably in a room having a temperature below 30C and a relative humidity below 50%.] Place about 10 g of racemic Menthol, previously dried in a desiccator over silica gel for 24 hours, in a dry test tube of from 18- to 20-mm internal diameter, and melt the contents at a temperature of about 40C. Suspend the test tube in water having a temperature of 23 to 25C, and stir the contents of the tube continually with a thermometer, keeping the bulb of the thermometer immersed in the liquid. Racemic Menthol congeals at a temperature between 27 and 28C. Shortly after the temperature has stabilized at the congealing point, add a few mg of dried racemic Menthol to the congealed mass, and continue the stirring: after a few minutes the temperature of the mass quickly rises to 30.5 to 32.0C.
Specific rotation: between 45 and 51 for l-Menthol; between 2 and +2 for dl-Menthol.
Limit of nonvolatile residue: Volatilize 2 g, accurately weighed, in a tared open porcelain dish on a steam bath, and dry the residue at 105 for 1 hour: the residue weighs not more than 1 mg (0.05%).
Chromatographic purity: To pass the test.
Readily oxidizable substances in dl-Menthol: Place 500 mg of dl-Menthol in a clean, dry test tube, add 10 mL of a solution of potassium permanganate, prepared by diluting 3 mL of 0.1 N potassium permanganate with water to 100 mL, and place the test tube in a beaker of water at a temperature between 45 and 50C. Remove the tube from the bath at intervals of 30 seconds, and mix quickly by shaking: the purple color of potassium permanganate is still apparent after 5 minutes.
Organic volatile impurities: meets the requirements.
Levomenthol BP Ph Eur Grade Specifications
