Natural Product Identification
Common Name2-Methylpentanoic acid
Description(±)-2-Methylpentanoic acid, also known as (+/-)-2-methylvaleric acid or 2-methylvalerate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methyl-branched fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an acyl chain that has a methyl branch. Usually, they are saturated and contain only one or more methyl group. However, branches other than methyl may be present (±)-2-Methylpentanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (±)-2-Methylpentanoic acid is a cheese and sour tasting compound. Outside of the human body, (±)-2-Methylpentanoic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, pepper (spice). 2-Methylpentanoic acid is found in Pelargonium graveolens. This could make (±)-2-methylpentanoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
