Metabolite Identification

Common Name

6-Methoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone

Description

6-Methoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone, also known as 6-MBOA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoxazolones. These are organic compounds containing a benzene fused to an oxazole ring (a five-member aliphatic ring with three carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and one nitrogen atom) bearing a ketone group. 6-Methoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as flour, common wheats (Triticum aestivum), wild rice (Zizania), teas (Camellia sinensis), and alcoholic beverages. This could make 6-methoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 6-Methoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone.
