Dihydrocarvone (CAS: 5524-05-0) is a compound characterized by its clear liquid appearance, often ranging from colorless to a light yellow or green-yellow hue. Its physical properties include a boiling point of 87-88°C at 6 mmHg and a density of approximately 0.928 g/mL at 20°C. With a flash point of 102°C, it is considered combustible but not highly flammable under standard conditions.

For optimal preservation of its quality and reactivity, Dihydrocarvone should be stored in a tightly closed container. It requires storage in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible substances. Proper handling is crucial; while generally considered safe for its intended industrial uses, adherence to standard chemical safety protocols is recommended. This includes wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eye protection, and lab coats when handling the substance.

The compound's solubility in various solvents is also a key characteristic. It exhibits slight solubility in ethyl acetate and methanol, and is sparingly soluble in chloroform. These properties are important considerations for chemists when designing synthesis or purification processes that utilize Dihydrocarvone. Its optical activity, specifically [α]20/D +20±2°, is also a critical specification for applications where stereochemistry is important.
