Chemical Information
FooDB Name2-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-propanol
Description2-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-propanol or 2-(4-Methylphenyl)propan-2-ol, also known as cymen-8-ol or 8-p-cymenol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylpropanes. These are organic compounds containing a phenylpropane moiety. 2-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-propanol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 2-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-propanol is a sweet, camphor, and cherry tasting compound. Outside of the human body, 2-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-propanol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as wild carrots, carrots, and star anises and in a lower concentration in sweet marjorams, rosemaries, and parsley. 2-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-propanol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as fruits, citrus, garden tomato, garden tomato (var.), and common oregano. This could make 2-(4-methylphenyl)-2-propanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
