Definition
4-[7-(3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl)-6,8-dihydroxy-17,17-dimethyl-5-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-10,14-dioxo-3,16-dioxapentacyclo[11.4.1.0²,¹¹.0²,¹⁵.0⁴,⁹]octadeca-4,6,8,11-tetraen-15-yl]-2-methylbut-2-enoic acid belongs to the class of organic compounds known as xanthones. These are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a xanthene moiety conjugated to a ketone group at carbon 9. Xanthene is a tricyclic compound made up of two benzene rings linearly fused to each other through a pyran ring. 4-[7-(3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl)-6,8-dihydroxy-17,17-dimethyl-5-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-10,14-dioxo-3,16-dioxapentacyclo[11.4.1.0²,¹¹.0²,¹⁵.0⁴,⁹]octadeca-4,6,8,11-tetraen-15-yl]-2-methylbut-2-enoic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa).
