描述
1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene, also known as methylsyringol or pyrogallol trimethyl ether, is a member of the class of compounds known as anisoles. Anisoles are organic compounds containing a methoxybenzene or a derivative thereof. 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene can be found in tea, which makes 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
