Description |
(2s,4r,6s)-2-[2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]tetrahydro-6-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2h-pyran-4-ol is a member of the class of compounds known as linear diarylheptanoids. Linear diarylheptanoids are diarylheptanoids with an open heptane chain. The two aromatic rings are linked only by the heptane chain (2s,4r,6s)-2-[2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]tetrahydro-6-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2h-pyran-4-ol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). (2s,4r,6s)-2-[2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]tetrahydro-6-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2h-pyran-4-ol can be found in herbs and spices, which makes (2s,4r,6s)-2-[2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]tetrahydro-6-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2h-pyran-4-ol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. |
