Metabolite Identification
Common Name(Dimethoxymethyl)benzene
Description(Dimethoxymethyl)benzene, also known as benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal or alpha,alpha-dimethoxytoluene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzylethers. These are aromatic ethers with the general formula ROCR' (R = alkyl, aryl; R'=benzene)(Dimethoxymethyl)benzene is an almond, floral, and fruity tasting compound. (Dimethoxymethyl)benzene has been detected, but not quantified, in green vegetables and potato. This could make (dimethoxymethyl)benzene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
