Natural Product Identification
Common Name2-Methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate
Description2-Methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate, also known as fema 3359, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. 2-Methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 2-Methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate is a sweet, apple, and berry tasting compound. Outside of the human body, 2-Methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within spearmints. 2-Methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as fats and oils, fruits, roman camomiles, and sweet cherries. 2-Methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate is found in Chrysanthemum morifolium, Acca sellowiana, Hippophae rhamnoides, Humulus lupulus and Vaccinium vitis-idaea . This could make 2-methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
