Colorless oily liquid
Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils
Refreshingly herbaceous-citrusy odor, not as lemony as the alpha-isomer, but somewhat warmer, with equally poor tenacity
Slightly bitter-herbaceous, but becomes pleasant, citrusy at concentrations below 40 ppm
Found some use in the reconstruction of certain essential oils, mainly for flavor purposes: Peppermint, Spearmint, Thyme, Origanum, etc.
1) by isolation from the essential oil of Lantana camara, a plant growing abundantly in the West Indian islands, South America, the South Pacific islands, Indian Ocean islands, and many other tropical and subtropical areas. The plant produces an essential oil of Lavender-Clary Sage-type, but more green and harsh, yet overall very pleasant. The oil has been produced in Haiti but not on a regular basis. 2) from para-Cymene with Sodium and alcohol in liquid Ammonia
