描述
Cis-p-menthane-1,8-diol, also known as terpin, titanium (+4) salt or terpin hydrate, 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. Cis-p-menthane-1,8-diol is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Cis-p-menthane-1,8-diol is a bitter tasting compound found in herbs and spices, which makes cis-p-menthane-1,8-diol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Cis-p-menthane-1,8-diol exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans.
