  <name>2,3,5-Trimethylphenol</name>
  <description>2,3,5-trimethylphenol, also known as 1-hydroxy-2,3,5-trimethylbenzene or isopseudocumenol, is a member of the class of compounds known as ortho cresols. Ortho cresols are organic compounds containing an ortho-cresol moiety, which consists of a benzene bearing one hydroxyl group at ring positions 1 and 2, respectively. 2,3,5-trimethylphenol is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2,3,5-trimethylphenol can be synthesized from 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene. 2,3,5-trimethylphenol can also be synthesized into 2,3,5-trimethylphenyl methylcarbamate. 2,3,5-trimethylphenol can be found in arabica coffee, which makes 2,3,5-trimethylphenol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.</description>
