描述
Isopiperitenone, also known as 3-methyl-6-(1-methylethenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-one or 6-isopropenyl-3-methyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one, is a member of the class of compounds known as menthane monoterpenoids. Menthane monoterpenoids are monoterpenoids with a structure based on the o-, m-, or p-menthane backbone. P-menthane consists of the cyclohexane ring with a methyl group and a (2-methyl)-propyl group at the 1 and 4 ring position, respectively. The o- and m- menthanes are much rarer, and presumably arise by alkyl migration of p-menthanes. Isopiperitenone is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Isopiperitenone can be found in dill and spearmint, which makes isopiperitenone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
