Natural Product Identification
Common NameHexyl 2-methylbutanoate
DescriptionHexyl 2-methylbutanoate, also known as bromoacetylcarnitine or fema 3499, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. Hexyl 2-methylbutanoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Hexyl 2-methylbutanoate is an apple, fruity, and green tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Hexyl 2-methylbutanoate has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as apples, asian pears, and sweet cherries. Hexyl 2-methylbutanoate is found in Aloysia citrodora, Bupleurum fruticosum, Cleistopholis patens, Mandragora autumnalis , Mandragora officinarum and Prunus armeniaca. This could make hexyl 2-methylbutanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
