Description	6-methylgingediol is a member of the class of compounds known as dimethoxybenzenes. Dimethoxybenzenes are organic aromatic compounds containing a monocyclic benzene moiety carrying exactly two methoxy groups. 6-methylgingediol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 6-methylgingediol can be found in ginger, which makes 6-methylgingediol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
