| Description | 6-methoxy-3-methyl-2-all-trans-hexaprenyl-1,4-benzoquinol, also known as 2-hexaprenyl-3-methyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol or 5-methoxy-2-methyl-3-hexaprenylhydroquinone, is a member of the class of compounds known as 2-polyprenyl-6-methoxyphenols. 2-polyprenyl-6-methoxyphenols are compounds containing a polyisoprene chain attached at the 2-position of a 6-methoxyphenol group. 6-methoxy-3-methyl-2-all-trans-hexaprenyl-1,4-benzoquinol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 6-methoxy-3-methyl-2-all-trans-hexaprenyl-1,4-benzoquinol can be found in a number of food items such as sweet basil, soursop, pineapple, and ohelo berry, which makes 6-methoxy-3-methyl-2-all-trans-hexaprenyl-1,4-benzoquinol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 6-methoxy-3-methyl-2-all-trans-hexaprenyl-1,4-benzoquinol may be a unique E.coli metabolite. |
