Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Ar-turmerone is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Ar-turmerone can be found in turmeric, which makes ar-turmerone a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. 2-Methyl-6-(4-methylphenyl)-2-hepten-4-one, 9CI ar-Turmerone Dehydroturmerone C15H20O 216.3187 216.151415262 (6S)-2-methyl-6-(4-methylphenyl)hept-2-en-4-one (6S)-2-methyl-6-(4-methylphenyl)hept-2-en-4-one 532-65-0 C[C@@H](CC(=O)C=C(C)C)C1=CC=C(C)C=C1 InChI=1S/C15H20O/c1-11(2)9-15(16)10-13(4)14-7-5-12(3)6-8-14/h5-9,13H,10H2,1-4H3/t13-/m0/s1 NAAJVHHFAXWBOK-ZDUSSCGKSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids.
