Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Ethyl-o-xylene
Description4-Ethyl-o-xylene belongs to the class of organic compounds known as o-xylenes. These are aromatic compounds that contain a o-xylene moiety, which is a monocyclic benzene carrying exactly two methyl groups at the 1- and 2-positions. These are compounds containing a benzene ring which bears a methane group. 4-Ethyl-o-xylene is possibly neutral. Outside of the human body, 4-Ethyl-o-xylene has been detected, but not quantified in, cauliflowers and corns. This could make 4-ethyl-O-xylene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
