Methyl cyclopentenolone succinate menthol diester (compound 5) was synthesised from methyl cyclopentenolone, menthol and succinic anhydride using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 4‐dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) methods. The thermal decomposition process and kinetic behaviour of the compounds were s...
