描述
P-mentha-2,4(8)-diene 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. P-mentha-2,4(8)-diene can be found in dill, which makes P-mentha-2,4(8)-diene a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. P-mentha-2,4(8)-diene can be found primarily in saliva.
