Description |
Xi-3,6-dihydro-4-methyl-2-(2-methyl-1-propenyl)-2h-pyran is a member of the class of compounds known as pyrans. Pyrans are compounds containing a pyran ring, which is a six-member heterocyclic, non-aromatic ring with five carbon atoms, one oxygen atom and two ring double bonds. Xi-3,6-dihydro-4-methyl-2-(2-methyl-1-propenyl)-2h-pyran is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Xi-3,6-dihydro-4-methyl-2-(2-methyl-1-propenyl)-2h-pyran can be found in alcoholic beverages, citrus, and fruits, which makes xi-3,6-dihydro-4-methyl-2-(2-methyl-1-propenyl)-2h-pyran a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. |
