4-(4-Hydroxy-5-isopropyl-2-methylphenyl)-6-isopropyl-3-methyl-3,5-cyclohexadiene-1,2-dione and 5,5'-diisopropyl-2,2'-dimethyl-3,4,4'-biphenyltriol, isolated from thyme, and their analogues, 4-(2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,6-dimethyl-3,5-cyclohexadiene-1,2-dione and 2,2',5,5'-tetramethylbiphenyl-3,4,4'-triol, have been synthesized and their deodorant activities against methanethiol measured.
