  <name>2,4-Dimethylpropiophenone</name>
  <description>2,4-dimethylpropiophenone 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. 2,4-dimethylpropiophenone is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2,4-dimethylpropiophenone can be found in tea, which makes 2,4-dimethylpropiophenone a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
