Abstract: Diglyceryl borate was synthesized by the reaction of boric acid and glycerol in a nitrogen atmosphere, then esterified with menthylformic acid under the catalysis of p-toluenesulfonic acid, finally glyceryl monomenthylformate was obtained by acidic hydrolysis with the total yield of 79.46%. The structure of the obtained product was identified by IR,¹H NMR and MS spectra. The gustatory evaluation,pyrolysis (Py-GC/MS) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) of the product were conducted,and its transfer rate to mainstream cigarette smoke was investigated. The results showed that:1) Thermo-gravimetric curve indicated that the initial weight loss took place at 150℃,weight loss accounted for about 90%;the secondary weight loss temperature was 280℃,lost about 10%;2) Most part of the product did not break apart under pyrolysis conditions;3) The transfer rate to mainstream cigarette smoke was 61.02% determined by internal standard curve method;4) The threshold of gustatory cool sensation was 1.0 μg/mL.
