Metabolite Identification
Common Name1,4-Dimethoxybenzene
Description1,4-Dimethoxybenzene belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dimethoxybenzenes. These are organic aromatic compounds containing a monocyclic benzene moiety carrying exactly two methoxy groups. 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene is a sweet, bitter, and fennel tasting compound. 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene is found, on average, in the highest concentration within peppermints (Mentha X piperita). This could make 1,4-dimethoxybenzene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene.
