Metabolite Identification

Common Name

3,4-Dimethylphenol

Description

3,4-Dimethylphenol, also known as 1,3,4-xylenol or 3,4-DMP, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as para cresols. Para cresols are compounds containing a para cresol moiety, which consists of a benzene ring bearing one hydroxyl group at ring positions 1 and 4. 3,4-Dimethylphenol is a dry and flat tasting compound. 3,4-Dimethylphenol has been detected, but not quantified, in coffee and coffee products and herbs and spices. This could make 3,4-dimethylphenol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 3,4-Dimethylphenol is a potentially toxic compound.
