|Section2= |Section3= }} Piperitone is a natural monoterpene ketone which is a component of some essential oils. Both stereoisomers, the D-form and the L-form, are known. The D-form has a peppermint-like aroma and has been isolated from the oils of plants from the genera ''Cymbopogon'', ''Andropogon'', and ''Mentha''.〔 The L-form has been isolated from Sitka spruce.〔 Piperitone is used as the principal raw material for the production of synthetic menthol and thymol. The primary source of D/L-piperitone is from ''Eucalyptus dives'', produced mainly in South Africa.〔Boland, D.J., Brophy, J.J., and A.P.N.
