Chemical Information
FooDB Name1-Methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene
Description1-Methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene, also known as methylchavicol or estragol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as anisoles. These are organic compounds containing a methoxybenzene or a derivative thereof. 1-Methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 1-Methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene is a sweet, alcohol, and anise tasting compound. 1-Methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as anises, fennels, and sweet basils and in a lower concentration in star anises, hyssops, and tarragons. 1-Methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as ceylon cinnamons, dills, sweet bay, gingers, and pepper (spice). This could make 1-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 1-Methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene, with regard to humans, has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease.
