Natural Product Identification
Common NameButyl isovalerate
DescriptionButyl 3-methylbutanoate, also known as 1-butyl isovalerate or butyl isopentanoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. Butyl 3-methylbutanoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Butyl 3-methylbutanoate is a sweet, apple, and fruit tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Butyl 3-methylbutanoate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, evergreen blackberries, fruits, and milk and milk products. Butyl isovalerate is found in Centaurea atropurpurea. This could make butyl 3-methylbutanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
