  <name>1-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)ethanone</name>
  <description>1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanone, also known as 3',4'-dimethoxyacetophenone, 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. 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanone is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanone is a sweet, floral, and woody tasting compound found in oat and tea, which makes 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. </description>
