Description1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene, also known as pseudocumene or psi-cumene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene is a plastic tasting compound. 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene is found, on average, in the highest concentration within black walnuts (Juglans nigra). 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene has also been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as cauliflowers (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), corns (Zea mays), and sweet cherries (Prunus avium). This could make 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene.
