3-Hydroxy-4-isopentenyl-5-methoxybibenzyl-2-carboxylic acid
3-hydroxy-4-isopentenyl-5-methoxybibenzyl-2-carboxylic acid, also known as amorfrutin a, is a member of the class of compounds known as stilbenes. Stilbenes are organic compounds containing a 1,2-diphenylethylene moiety. Stilbenes (C6-C2-C6 ) are derived from the common phenylpropene (C6-C3) skeleton building block. The introduction of one or more hydroxyl groups to a phenyl ring lead to stilbenoids. 3-hydroxy-4-isopentenyl-5-methoxybibenzyl-2-carboxylic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3-hydroxy-4-isopentenyl-5-methoxybibenzyl-2-carboxylic acid can be found in pigeon pea, which makes 3-hydroxy-4-isopentenyl-5-methoxybibenzyl-2-carboxylic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
