Natural Product Identification
Common NameMethyl 5-methylhexanoate
DescriptionMethyl 5-methylhexanoate 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 5-methylhexanoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, Methyl 5-methylhexanoate has been detected, but not quantified in, alcoholic beverages. This could make methyl 5-methylhexanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
