  <name>alpha,alpha-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol</name>
  <description>Alpha,alpha-dimethylbenzyl alcohol, also known as 2-phenyl-2-propanol or alpha-cumyl alcohol, is a member of the class of compounds known as phenylpropanes. Phenylpropanes are organic compounds containing a phenylpropane moiety. Alpha,alpha-dimethylbenzyl alcohol is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Alpha,alpha-dimethylbenzyl alcohol can be found in pot marjoram, which makes alpha,alpha-dimethylbenzyl alcohol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
