| Description |
2,6-dimethylocta-3,7-diene-1,6-diol, also known as (6e)-8-hydroxylinalool, is a member of the class of compounds known as acyclic monoterpenoids. Acyclic monoterpenoids are monoterpenes that do not contain a cycle. Thus, 2,6-dimethylocta-3,7-diene-1,6-diol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. 2,6-dimethylocta-3,7-diene-1,6-diol is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2,6-dimethylocta-3,7-diene-1,6-diol can be found in ginger, which makes 2,6-dimethylocta-3,7-diene-1,6-diol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. |
