The odour of d- and Z-neomenthol differs altogether from that ofd- and Z-menthol. The following arrangement explains the reactions described by theauthors: — Thymol I I 1 Menthone Isomenthone (Semicarbazone m. p. 158°) (Semicarbazone m. p. 217°) I I Menthol m. p. 34°(Phthalic ester m. p. 130°) IiVeomenthol m. p. 51°(Phthalic ester m. p. 177°) I I ^-Menthol d-Menthol ]D + 19,6°) ([«]D-19,6°) liquid liquid.

Fatty-aromatic alcohols. At the present time we possess threemethods3) for the preparation of a fatty-aromatic alcohol XCH2OH, orits halogen ester XCH2C1 from the alcohol X-OH or halogenide are: first, condensation with cyanide of potassium, saponificationof the nitrileX-CN into acid, esterification into the ester X-C02C2H5 andreduction of this ester into the alcohol XCH2OH according to , reaction with magnesium into X-MgCl and conversion into thealcohol XCH2- OH by means of trihydroxymethylene according to , reduction of the nitrileX-CN into the base XCH2-NH2 and con-version of the benzoyl-compound of the latter with phosphorus pentachlorideinto the chloride X-CH2C1 accordin
