Natural Product Identification
Common Name4-Methyl-2-pentenoic acid
Description4-Methyl-2-pentenoic acid, also known as 3-isopropyl acrylic acid, 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. 4-Methyl-2-pentenoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 4-Methyl-2-pentenoic acid is a black tea, fatty, and fruity tasting compound. Outside of the human body, 4-Methyl-2-pentenoic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, alcoholic beverages. This could make 4-methyl-2-pentenoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
