Abstract: The base-free transfer hydrogenation (HTR) of menthone with six aliphatic alcohols as hydrogen source has been developed under sub- and supercritical conditions. Under sc conditions (at 350 °C and 78–210 atm) without any catalyst, all alcohols demonstrated the similar H-donor activity, which was high enough. The menthone conversion was about 64 ± 5 % for 5 hours of the reaction, whereas the selectivity on menthol reached 92–99 % for all alcohols except MeOH (73 %). The non-catalytic HTR at 250 °C was very slow and the conversion in the most active 2-PrOH was only 7.0–7.5 % for 9 hours of the reaction. Under subcritical conditions at 150 °C, the non-catalytic menthone reduction was negligible in all alcohols. But in secondary 2-PrOH and 2-BuOH, the base-free HTR catalyzed by Raney® nickel results in excellent conversion and selectivity of menthol at 150 °C, whereas no conversion of menthone was observed in primary alcohols under the same reaction conditions. A quasi-equilibrium of isomeric menthone/isomenthone mixture reached via enolization was evaluated under sub- and supercritical conditions and the Gibbs energies of the isomerization in each alcohol were calculated
