Abstract: This article discusses the optimized conditions for synthesizing novel menthol derivatives through its interaction with selected amino acids. This study presents the optimized conditions for synthesizing novel menthol derivatives through reactions with selected amino acids. The resulting compounds were characterized to determine their physicochemical properties, including appearance, aggregate state, and melting point. Notable variations in these characteristics suggest distinct structural and thermal behaviors among the synthesized derivatives. These findings imply potential applications in pharmaceuticals, materials science, and other related fields. The physical constants of the new compounds were determined, and their structures were analyzed using infrared (IR) and mass spectrometry. In the IR spectra of the complex esters, the absence of the hydroxyl (-OH) stretching vibration near 3245 cm⁻¹ confirms ester formation between the hydroxyl group of menthol and the amino acid moieties. These spectral features support the successful synthesis of complex esters and highlight the interaction mechanism. This work contributes to the development of functionalized organic molecules with promising physicochemical and possibly biological properties.
