  <name>1,2,3-Trimethoxy-5-methylbenzene</name>
  <description>1,2,3-trimethoxy-5-methylbenzene is a member of the class of compounds known as anisoles. Anisoles are organic compounds containing a methoxybenzene or a derivative thereof. 1,2,3-trimethoxy-5-methylbenzene is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 1,2,3-trimethoxy-5-methylbenzene can be found in safflower and tea, which makes 1,2,3-trimethoxy-5-methylbenzene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. </description>
