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