Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name3-Methyl-1,2-benzenediol
Description3-Methylcatechol, also known as 2,3-Toluenediol or 3-Methyl-1,2-benzenediol, is a methylated derivative of catechol or 1,2-Benzenediol. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as catechols. Catechols are compounds containing a 1,2-Benzenediol moiety. 3-Methylcatechol is one of several structural isomers of methylbenzenediol wherein the methyl and two hydroxyl groups are substituted at different positions of the benzene ring. 3-Methylcatechol exists as a white to yellow powder and is soluble in water. It is produced by some bacteria capable of degrading toluene and by other bacteria capable of degrading nitroaromatic compounds present in pesticide-contaminated soil samples (PMID: 13680334 ; PMID: 17337538 ). 3-Methylcatechol naturally produced by a number of plants and is found in a few different foods, such as arabica coffee, cocoa powders and beers. This could make 3-methylcatechol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Methylbenzenediols are found in cannabis smoke. 3-Methylcatechol is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
