Procedure

In a control experiment, l-menthol (12 g) is stirred with water (876 g) for 2 h, initially at 47° C., then at ambient temperature, but no homogeneous mixture results. Menthol is isolated by filtration. Gas chromatography analysis shows that the clear aqueous solution contains 0.06% menthol.
