Description	P-mentha-1,5-dien-7-ol 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-mentha-1,5-dien-7-ol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). P-mentha-1,5-dien-7-ol can be found in ginger, which makes P-mentha-1,5-dien-7-ol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
