The structure of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanone (menthones and isomenthones, see following) were established historically by establishing identity of natural and synthetic products after chemical synthesis of this structure from other chemical compounds of established structure; these inferential understandings have, in modern organic chemistry, been augmented by supporting ] and spectroscopic evidence (e.g., from ] and ]) to make the conclusions secure.{{fact|date = December 2024}} |
