Description	Cis-p-2-menthen-1-ol is a member of the class of compounds known as secondary alcohols. Secondary alcohols are compounds containing a secondary alcohol functional group, with the general structure HOC(R)(R') (R,R'=alkyl, aryl). Cis-p-2-menthen-1-ol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Cis-p-2-menthen-1-ol can be found in pepper (spice), which makes cis-p-2-menthen-1-ol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
