The title menthol-derived ester, C19H26O4, was synthesized by chloroacetylation of menthol followed by reaction with sodium benzoate. It crystallizes in the Sohncke space group P21 with one molecule in the The cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation, and the benzoate fragment is essentially planar. The oxoethyl bridge shows a gauche conformation about the O—CH2 bond and an anti conformation about the CH2—C bond. In the crystal, the packing is mainly consolidated by a weak C—H⋯O contact linking molecules into chains parallel to [100]. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that H⋯H contacts make the largest contribution to the crystal cohesion, followed by O⋯H/H⋯O and C⋯H/H⋯C contacts, consistent with the hydrophobic menthyl entity. DFT calculations show reasonable agreement between the refined and optimized structures. Frontier-orbital and electrostatic-potential analyses identify the benzoate ester and carbonyl oxygen atoms as the main electronically active regions.

1. Chemical context
Menthol, (1R,2S,5R)-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexan-1-ol, is a naturally occurring cyclic monoterpene alcohol and one of the major constituents of peppermint and cornmint essential oils obtained from mentha piperita L. and mentha arvensis L. Because of its characteristic cooling sensation, pleasant mint-like odour and favourable safety profile, menthol is widely used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and flavouring industries. Its cooling and refreshing effect is mainly associated with activation of cold-sensitive thermoreceptors, particularly the TRPM8 ion channel, which also contributes to the analgesic action of menthol-containing topical preparations (Kamatou et al., 2013
; Farco & Grundmann, 2013
; Pergolizzi et al., 2018
; Li et al., 2022
). Kamatou et al. (2013
) described menthol as a simple monoterpene with remarkable biological properties and emphasized its importance as a natural compound with broad industrial and medicinal relevance.
In addition to its sensory properties, menthol has attracted considerable attention because of its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anticancer-related activities. Recent reviews have compiled the biochemical, pharmacological and clinical aspects of peppermint and menthol, including their therapeutic potential and safety considerations (Kazemi et al., 2025
; Başer et al., 2025
).
Menthol is not only an important flavouring and cooling agent, but also a biologically relevant molecular scaffold for the design of new derivatives with modified physicochemical and pharmacological properties. Chemical modification of the hydroxyl group of menthol is a common and well-established strategy for obtaining menthyl ester derivatives with altered lipophilicity, conformational behaviour, electrostatic properties and biological activity. Menthyl esters are important as fragrance and flavour compounds, chiral auxiliaries, prodrug-like fragments, penetration-enhancing agents and stereochemically defined substituents in organic synthesis. Mansurov et al. (2025
) recently investigated (–)-menthol and a series of menthyl esters, including menthyl acetate, propionate, butyrate, valerate and hexanoate, using quantum-chemical calculations, molecular docking and related computational approaches. They showed that variation of the ester side chain influences electrostatic properties, lipophilicity and predicted binding behaviour toward biologically relevant protein targets.
The biological relevance of menthol esterification is also supported by earlier experimental studies. Samarasekera et al. (2008
) synthesized several menthol derivatives, including menthyl chloroacetate, menthyl dichloroacetate and menthyl cinnamate, and evaluated the insecticidal activity against mosquito species such as culex quinquefasciatus, aedes aegypti and anopheles tessellatus. These results showed that esterification of menthol can significantly influence biological activity and may provide derivatives with useful bioactivity profiles.
In the context given above, the title compound, 2-(2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyloxy)-2-oxoethyl benzoate, was synthesized and its molecular and determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, complemented by Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT calculations.
2. Structural commentary
The title compound, C19H26O4, crystallizes as a neutral molecule in the monoclinic Sohncke space group P21, with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. It is a new menthol-derived ester in which the menthyl cyclohexyl fragment is linked to a terminal benzoate group through an ester–methylene bridge. The molecule combines a bulky hydrophobic cyclohexyl moiety, a flexible oxoethyl linker and an aromatic benzoate fragment, features that may influence its conformation and weak intermolecular interactions in the solid state. The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1
.

The non-centrosymmetric is consistent with the chiral menthyl moiety. The molecule consists of three main fragments: a benzoyl group [Ph—C(=O)–], a central oxoacetate linker [–OCH2C(=O)–], and a menthyloxy moiety incorporating the chiral cyclohexane ring. The two ester groups are clearly defined by the bond lengths. In the benzoyl ester fragment, the carbonyl bond O1=C7 is 1.204 (7) Å, whereas the ester bond C7—O2 is longer at 1.325 (8) Å. In the second ester group, the O3=C9 carbonyl bond is 1.177 (6) Å and the C9—O4 single bond is 1.347 (7) Å. These values are typical for ester functionalities and indicate normal localization of C=O and C—O bonds. The phenyl ring, C1–C6, is essentially planar, with aromatic C—C distances in the range 1.355 (13) to 1.390 (13) Å. The benzoyl carbonyl group is almost co-planar with the aromatic ring, as shown by the torsion angles C2—C1—C7—O1 of −177.2 (6)° and C6—C1—C7—O2 of −176.4 (6)°. This arrangement favours conjugation between the phenyl ring and the carbonyl group. The oxoethyl bridge adopts a gauche conformation between the two ester fragments. This is indicated by the torsion angle C7—O2—C8—C9 of −69.7 (7)°. In contrast, the second ester fragment is nearly planar around the carbonyl group, with C10—O4—C9—O3 of −0.1 (8)° and C10—O4—C9—C8 of −179.5 (5)°. The cyclohexyl ring of the menthyl fragment, formed by atoms C10–C15, adopts a chair conformation. The C—C bond lengths within the ring fall in the normal range from 1.498 (10) to 1.533 (7) Å. The alternating ring torsion angles, from about −57 to +58°, are characteristic of a chair cyclohexane ring. The Cremer–Pople puckering parameters Q = 0.569 (7) Å and θ = 0.9 (7)° indicate an almost ideal chair conformation. The menthyl fragment contains three stereogenic centres at C10, C12 and C15. The crystallographic model corresponds to the expected stereochemical arrangement for a menthol-derived entity.
Overall, the bond lengths and angles in the molecular structure confirm the formation of a menthol-derived diester containing a planar benzoyl fragment, two ester carbonyl groups and a cyclohexyl ring in a nearly ideal chair conformation.
3. Supramolecular features
The molecule does not contain donor groups for classical hydrogen-bonding. The crystal packing is consolidated mainly by a weak C—H⋯O contact involving the methylene group and the carbonyl oxygen atom of a neighbouring molecule (Table 1
) and van der Waals interactions, as illustrated in Fig. 2
. An alternative view of the crystal packing is shown in Fig. 3
. An additional intramolecular C17—H17⋯O4 contact is observed, with H⋯O = 2.48 Å, C⋯O = 2.889 (7) Å and an angle of 105°. Owing to this small angle, this contact should be regarded as weak, although it may help to fix the relative orientation of the isopropyl and ester moieties. The aromatic rings do not participate in significant π–π stacking interactions. Although neighbouring phenyl rings are almost parallel, the centroid-to-centroid separations are long [centroid–centroid distance = 5.215 (5) Å] and the slippage is large, 4.11 Å, preventing effective overlap of the aromatic rings. Thus, π–π interactions make no meaningful contribution to the packing. Overall, the packing is governed by weak C—H⋯O contacts, van der Waals interactions and shape complementarity between the hydrophobic phenyl and menthyl fragments. The ester carbonyl oxygen atoms act as weak acceptor sites, while aliphatic and aromatic C—H groups provide weak donor contacts.

4. Hirshfeld surface analysis
Hirshfeld surface analysis was carried out with CrystalExplorer (Spackman et al., 2021
) at high resolution. The calculated Hirshfeld surface has a volume of 457.47 Å3 and an area of 392.81 Å2. The globularity value of 0.731 and asphericity value of 0.252 indicate that the molecular surface is far from spherical, reflecting the elongated benzoate ester group and bulky hydrophobic menthyl fragment.
The dnorm surface (Fig. 4
) shows only limited negative regions. This agrees with the absence of strong classical hydrogen-bonding features. The red regions on the dnorm surface are expected mainly near the carbonyl oxygen atoms and neighbouring C—H groups, corresponding to weak C—H⋯O contacts. The shape-index surface does not provide evidence for efficient π–π stacking, in line with the long centroid–centroid separation and the absence of a significant C⋯C fingerprint contribution.
| Figure 4 Hirshfeld surface of the title compound mapped over dnorm, showing the intermolecular C—H⋯O contacts. |
The two-dimensional fingerprint plots (Fig. 5
) show that H⋯H contacts dominate the packing, contributing 67.4% of the Hirshfeld surface. This large value is expected for a molecule rich in aliphatic hydrogen atoms. The next largest contribution is from O⋯H/H⋯O contacts, 18.9%, which arise from weak C—H⋯O interactions involving the ester oxygen atoms. C⋯H/H⋯C contacts contribute with 13.5%, indicating weak contacts between the aromatic/aliphatic carbon framework and hydrogen atoms. The C⋯O/O⋯C contribution is very small, 0.3%, and C⋯C contacts are negligible. Thus, the crystal packing is governed predominantly by van der Waals H⋯H contacts, with a smaller but structurally relevant contribution from weak C—H⋯O interactions.

5. DFT calculations
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out in order to compare the experimentally determined molecular structure with the gas-phase optimized structure and to evaluate its frontier molecular orbitals and electrostatic potential distribution. The calculations provide quantum-chemical support for the structural analysis and help identify the molecular fragments that are most relevant to intermolecular interactions in the crystal.
The molecular structure obtained from the was used as the initial model for geometry optimization performed in the gas phase at the B3LYP/def2-TZVP level of theory with Grimme D3BJ dispersion correction (Grimme et al., 2011
) using the ORCA software package (Neese, 2022
). The input file was prepared using Avogadro (Hanwell et al., 2012
). An overlay plot of the experimentally determined structure (XRD) with the DFT-optimized structure is shown in Fig. 6
.
| Figure 6 Overlay plot of the refined (yellow) and DFT-optimized (green) structures; oxygen atoms are shown in red for the latter. |
The superposition of the XRD and DFT structures gives a root-mean-square-deviation of 0.97 Å, indicating reasonable agreement between the solid-state and optimized gas-phase structures. The main conformational difference is associated with rotation of the cyclohexyl fragment about the ester C—O bond. In the optimized structure, the corresponding dihedral angle is 111.5°, whereas the refined structure shows a value of 149.3 (5)°, corresponding to an approximate rotation of 38°. This difference is expected because the experimental molecular conformation is stabilized by intermolecular interactions and crystal-packing effects, whereas gas-phase optimization allows the molecule to adopt an isolated low-energy conformation.
The calculated frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) are shown in Fig. 7
. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy is −7.24 eV, whereas the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy is −1.52 eV. The resulting HOMO–LUMO energy gap is 5.72 eV. This gap indicates a relatively stable electronic structure, where the presence of the benzoate fragment lowers the LUMO level and increases the contribution of the aromatic ester unit to the frontier orbital distribution.
| Figure 7 Electron-density distributions of the frontier molecular orbitals of the title compound, calculated at the DFT/def2-TZVP level |
The HOMO and LUMO electron densities are mainly localized on the benzoate fragment, including the aromatic ring and adjacent carbonyl-containing ester group. This localization shows that the aromatic acyl fragment is the principal electronically active part of the molecule. Therefore, weak intermolecular contacts involving the benzoate ring and carbonyl oxygen atoms can be expected to play an important role in the crystal packing.
The electrostatic potential (ESP) surface was analysed to locate the electron-rich and electron-deficient regions of the molecule (Murray & Politzer, 2011
). As shown in Fig. 8
, the most negative ESP regions are concentrated around the carbonyl oxygen atoms. The strongest ESP minimum is −35.59 kcal mol−1, while the second carbonyl oxygen gives a local minimum of −30.63 kcal mol−1. These oxygen atoms are therefore the most probable acceptor sites for weak hydrogen-bonding interactions.
| Figure 8 Electrostatic potential (ESP) mapped onto the electron-density surface of the title compound. Colours indicate the electrostatic potential from red (minimum) to blue (maximum), in kcal mol−1. |
The positive ESP region is mainly located near the hydrogen atoms of the methylene group situated between the two electron-withdrawing ester fragments, with an ESP maximum of 21.03 kcal mol−1. This polarization explains why this part of the molecule may participate in weak C—H⋯O contacts in the solid state. Overall, the DFT results are consistent with the crystallographic analysis and show that the molecular conformation, frontier orbitals and electrostatic potential are primarily governed by the benzoate ester fragment and the two carbonyl oxygen atoms.
6. Database survey
A search of the Cambridge Structure Database (CSD, version 6.01, November 2025, including February 2026 updates; Groom et al., 2016
) for structures containing the menthol-derived 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl fragment revealed 1106 hits. The search was performed without refcode restrictions and additional filters. Among these entries, the crystal structure of menthol itself is deposited as BAVLOZ (Bombicz et al., 1999
). Several structurally related menthol-derived esters were also found, including AHILAF (Fuchs et al., 2008
), AJEXUJ (Dutkiewicz et al., 2009
) and QOVKAO (Xu et al., 2009
). These structures contain a menthyl cyclohexyl fragment attached to carbonyl-containing heterocyclic or aromatic fragments through an ester linkage. However, no analogous structure containing the menthyl —O—C(=O)—CH2—O—C(=O)—Ph fragment was found. Thus, the title compound represents a new menthol-based benzoate ester structure and provides an additional example for evaluating the influence of a bulky chiral menthyl group and a flexible ester–methylene–ester linker on molecular conformation and crystal packing.
7. Synthesis and crystallization
The title compound was synthesized in two steps. In the first step, menthol was converted into 2-(2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyloxy)-2-oxoethyl chloride (Fig. 9
a). Menthol was dissolved in chloroform and K2CO3 was added. Chloroacetyl chloride was then added dropwise at 274–276 K, and the reaction mixture was subjected to ultrasonic irradiation for 2 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was recrystallized from methanol to give the intermediate in 86% yield. In the second step, the intermediate was refluxed with sodium benzoate in dimethylformamide for 11 h to afford the title compound (Fig. 9
b). After filtration of the precipitated salt and evaporation of the solvent, the crude product was recrystallized from methanol to give the title compound in 82% yield. Colourless block-shaped crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a methanol solution.
| Figure 9 Synthesis scheme for (a) 2-(2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyloxy)-2-oxoethyl chloride from menthol and for (b) 2-(2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyloxy)-2-oxoethyl benzoate. |
FT–IR spectroscopy confirmed the formation of the ester product. The broad O—H band of menthol at 3245–3600 cm−1 disappeared in the spectra of the synthesized Menthyl chloroacetate showed characteristic bands at 1745 cm−1 for the ester C=O group and 786 cm−1 for the C—Cl bond. In the title compound, the C—Cl band was absent, while strong absorptions at 1747–1717 cm−1 and 1207 cm−1 were observed for the ester C=O and C—O—C groups, respectively.
8. Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure details are summarized in Table 2
. No additional crystallographic symmetry was detected by PLATON/ADDSYM analysis (Spek, 2020
), confirming the correctness of the refinement in P21. Although using Cu radiation, the Flack parameter of 0.2 (4) is not sufficiently precise for an independent absolute-structure determination. Hence, the absolute configuration is assigned from the known configuration of the menthol precursor used in the synthesis. H atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic, methylene and methine H atoms, and 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
