Quebecol (2,3,3-tri-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol)

Form a molecule model of Quebecol from Genuine Molymod Atoms & Bonds by Indigo.

Quebecol, is phenolic compound, 2,3,3-tri-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol, is found in maple syrup. It is not a naturally occurring compound & is produced in the boiling extraction, "sugaring off" of the sap from sugar maple trees. 

Tamoxifen, used to treat breast cancer, is similar to quebecol which does not show tamoxifen's severe side effects. Quebecol could be an alternative once potential anticancer effects have been further researched.

Maple syrup producers also make use of Indigo® pH10-13 test strips to confirm the alkalinity of solutions that clean their nylon filters used in this process.
