Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Methylpropyl acetate
Description2-Methylpropyl acetate, also known as acetate d'isobutyle or essigsaeureisobutylester, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group). 2-Methylpropyl acetate is a sweet, apple, and banana tasting compound. 2-Methylpropyl acetate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within red wine and beer. 2-Methylpropyl acetate has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as papayas (Carica papaya), muskmelons (Cucumis melo), apples (Malus pumila), asian pears (Pyrus pyrifolia), and fruits. This could make 2-methylpropyl acetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 2-Methylpropyl acetate is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 2-Methylpropyl acetate.
