  <name>Ethyl guaiacol</name>
  <description>Ethyl guaiacol is a member of the class of compounds known as anisoles. Anisoles are organic compounds containing a methoxybenzene or a derivative thereof. Ethyl guaiacol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Ethyl guaiacol can be found in chinese cinnamon, which makes ethyl guaiacol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
