  <name>(±)-p-Menth-1-en-4-yl acetate</name>
  <description>(±)-p-menth-1-en-4-yl acetate is a member of the class of compounds known as menthane monoterpenoids. Menthane monoterpenoids are monoterpenoids with a structure based on the o-, m-, or p-menthane backbone. P-menthane consists of the cyclohexane ring with a methyl group and a (2-methyl)-propyl group at the 1 and 4 ring position, respectively. The o- and m- menthanes are much rarer, and presumably arise by alkyl migration of p-menthanes (±)-p-menth-1-en-4-yl acetate is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). (±)-p-menth-1-en-4-yl acetate can be found in nutmeg, rosemary, sweet marjoram, and winter savory, which makes (±)-p-menth-1-en-4-yl acetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. </description>
