Preparation and occurrence

edit

It is prepared by disulfonation of benzoic acid followed by hydrolysis of the disulfonate.[3]

It is a metabolite of alkylresorcinols, first identified in human urine[4] and can be quantified in urine[5] and plasma,[6] and may be an alternative, equivalent biomarker of whole grain wheat intake.[7]
