描述
Phlorisobutyrophenone, also known as 2-methyl-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)-1-propanone or 1-isobutanoyl-2,4,6-trihydroxybenzene, is a member of the class of compounds known as alkyl-phenylketones. Alkyl-phenylketones are aromatic compounds containing a ketone substituted by one alkyl group, and a phenyl group. Phlorisobutyrophenone is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Phlorisobutyrophenone can be found in a number of food items such as chickpea, common cabbage, angelica, and swamp cabbage, which makes phlorisobutyrophenone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
