Metabolite Identification
Common Name4'-Methoxyacetophenone
Description4'-Methoxyacetophenone, also known as 4-acetylanisole, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkyl-phenylketones. These are aromatic compounds containing a ketone substituted by one alkyl group, and a phenyl group. 4'-Methoxyacetophenone is a sweet, acacia, and anisic tasting compound. 4'-Methoxyacetophenone is found, on average, in the highest concentration within peppermints (Mentha X piperita). 4'-Methoxyacetophenone has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, fruits, garden tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), and herbs and spices. This could make 4'-methoxyacetophenone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 4'-Methoxyacetophenone.
