Common Namepyroterebic acid
Description4-Methylpent-3-enoic acid, also known as pyroterebic acid or 4-methyl-3-pentenoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methyl-branched fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an acyl chain that has a methyl branch. Usually, they are saturated and contain only one or more methyl group. However, branches other than methyl may be present. pyroterebic acid is found in Calotropis procera. pyroterebic acid was first documented in 1965 (PMID: 4286899). 4-Methylpent-3-enoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
