Natural Product Identification
Common Namemethyl 2-(methylthio)-butyrate
DescriptionMethyl 2-(methylthio)butyrate, also known as fema 3708, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. Methyl 2-(methylthio)butyrate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Methyl 2-(methylthio)butyrate is a fruity, green, and musty tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Methyl 2-(methylthio)butyrate has been detected, but not quantified in, milk and milk products. methyl 2-(methylthio)-butyrate is found in Ferula sinkiangensis. This could make methyl 2-(methylthio)butyrate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
