Metabolite Identification

Common Name

Phenylmethyl 2-methylpropanoate

Description

Phenylmethyl 2-methylpropanoate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzyloxycarbonyls. These are organic compounds containing a carbonyl group substituted with a benzyloxyl group. Phenylmethyl 2-methylpropanoate is a sweet, fruity, and jasmine tasting compound. Phenylmethyl 2-methylpropanoate has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, fruits, and spearmints (Mentha spicata). This could make phenylmethyl 2-methylpropanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Phenylmethyl 2-methylpropanoate.
