Metabolite Identification

Common Name

2,6-Dimethoxy-4-methylphenol

Description

2,6-Dimethoxy-4-methylphenol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. 2,6-Dimethoxy-4-methylphenol is a caramel, eugenol, and medicinal tasting compound. 2,6-Dimethoxy-4-methylphenol has been detected, but not quantified in, fishes. This could make 2,6-dimethoxy-4-methylphenol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 2,6-Dimethoxy-4-methylphenol.
