1'-Oxoelemicin
1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one.png

1'-Oxoelemicin is a theoretical metabolite of elemicin proposed by Peele Jr., and Edward O. Oswald. Peele Jr., and Edward O. Oswald theorized that this metabolite can condense with dimethylamine, piperidine, or pyrrolidine forming one of 3 possible psychedelic alkaloid metabolites.

Corresponding 1'-oxo metabolites have been found for the closely related 1'-hydroxy metabolites of safrole[1][2], methyl eugenol[3], and methyl chavicol[4].
