  <name>3'-Methoxyacetophenone</name>
  <description>3'-methoxyacetophenone is a member of the class of compounds known as alkyl-phenylketones. Alkyl-phenylketones are aromatic compounds containing a ketone substituted by one alkyl group, and a phenyl group. 3'-methoxyacetophenone is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3'-methoxyacetophenone can be found in sesame, which makes 3'-methoxyacetophenone a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
