1 Caffeine 2 3 Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) is the common name for trimethylxanthine (systematic name is 1,3,7- 4 trimethylxanthine or 3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione). The chemical is also 5 known as coffeine, theine, mateine, guaranine, or methyltheobromine. Caffeine is naturally 6 produced by several plants, including coffee beans, guarana, yerba maté, cacao beans, and tea. 7 For the plants, caffeine acts as a natural pesticide. It paralyzes and kills insects that attempt to 8 feed on the plants. The molecule was first isolated by the German chemist Friedrich Ferdinand 9 Runge in 1819.
