Natural Product Identification
Common Name3-Hydroxy-2-pentanone
Description3-Hydroxy-2-pentanone, also known as 2-oxo-3-pentanol or acetylethylcarbinol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyloins. These are organic compounds containing an alpha hydroxy ketone. Acyloins are formally derived from reductive coupling of carboxylic acyl groups. Thus, 3-hydroxy-2-pentanone is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon lipid molecule. 3-Hydroxy-2-pentanone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 3-Hydroxy-2-pentanone is a herbal and truffle tasting compound. Outside of the human body, 3-Hydroxy-2-pentanone has been detected, but not quantified in, asparagus. 3-Hydroxy-2-pentanone is found in Corynebacterium glutamicum. This could make 3-hydroxy-2-pentanone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
