Definition
3,5-dimethoxyphenol, also known as phloroglucinol dimethyl ether or taxicatigenin, is a member of the class of compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. 3,5-dimethoxyphenol is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3,5-dimethoxyphenol can be found in a number of food items such as half-highbush blueberry, pot marjoram, chestnut, and chervil, which makes 3,5-dimethoxyphenol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 3,5-dimethoxyphenol can be found primarily in urine.
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.
