A compound was obtained from a natural product and had the molecular formula $C_{14} H_{20} O_{3}$ . It contained three methoxy $(- OCH_{3})$ groups and $a - CH_{2} CH = C (CH_{3})_{2}$ substituent. Oxidation with either chromic acid or potassium permanganate gave $2, 3, 5$ -trimethoxybenzoic acid. What is the structure of the compound?
