Natural Product Identification
Common Name(r)-acetoin
Description(R)-acetoin, also known as (R)-dimethylketol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyloins. These are organic compounds containing an alpha hydroxy ketone. Acyloins are formally derived from reductive coupling of carboxylic acyl groups. Thus, (R)-acetoin is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon lipid molecule (R)-acetoin is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (R)-acetoin exists in both E. (r)-acetoin is found in Corynebacterium glutamicum and Streptomyces avermitilis. Coli (prokaryote) and yeast (eukaryote).
