  <name>3-Methoxypyridine</name>
  <description>3-methoxypyridine is a member of the class of compounds known as alkyl aryl ethers. Alkyl aryl ethers are organic compounds containing the alkyl aryl ether functional group with the generic formula R-O-R' , where R is an alkyl group and R' is an aryl group. 3-methoxypyridine is soluble (in water) and a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). 3-methoxypyridine can be found in tea, which makes 3-methoxypyridine a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
