Metabolite Identification
Common NameEthyl isopropyl ketone
DescriptionEthyl isopropyl ketone, also known as 2-methyl-3-pentanal or 2-methylpentan-3-one, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ketones. These are organic compounds in which a carbonyl group is bonded to two carbon atoms R2C=O (neither R may be a hydrogen atom). Ketones that have one or more alpha-hydrogen atoms undergo keto-enol tautomerization, the tautomer being an enol. Ethyl isopropyl ketone (or ethyl isopropyl ketone) is a volatile organic compound. Ethyl isopropyl ketone is a mint tasting compound. ethyl isopropyl ketone has been detected, but not quantified in corns. This could make ethyl isopropyl ketone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Volatile organic compounds from feces have the potential to help in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal disease. Ethyl isopropyl ketone is a component of the feces in the normal population and is also occasionally found as a volatile component of normal human biofluids. Ethyl isopropyl ketone is an aliphatic ketone used as a reagent in organic chemistry and as a solvent.
