Common NameMethyl 4-(methylthio)butyrate
DescriptionMethyl 4-(methylthio)butyrate, also known as fema 3412 or methyl 4-(methylsulfanyl)butanoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid methyl esters. Fatty acid methyl esters are compounds containing a fatty acid that is esterified with a methyl group. They have the general structure RC(=O)OR', where R=fatty aliphatic tail or organyl group and R'=methyl group. Methyl 4-(methylthio)butyrate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Methyl 4-(methylthio)butyrate is a cabbage, cheese, and fruity tasting compound. Outside of the human body,.
