Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name2,4,6-Trimethylphenol
Description2,4,6-Trimethylphenol, also known as Mesitol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as para-cresols. Para cresols are compounds containing a para-cresol moiety, which consists of a benzene ring bearing one hydroxyl group at ring positions 1 and a methyl group at position 4 (para-hydroxytoluene). 2,4,6-Trimethylphenol is a mild and phenolic tasting compound. 2,4,6-Trimethylphenol is an aromatic chemical compound having three methyl groups and one hydroxy group. The name and structure of mesitol derives from the combination of mesitylene and phenol. 2,4,6-Trimethylphenol or Mesitol can be obtained by reaction of mesitylene with peroxomonophosphoric acid. Mesitol is listed by the FDA as being used as a food additive. Mesitol has also been detected in cannabis samples obtained in police seizures (PMID: 26657499 ).
