Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Pentanol
Description2-Pentanol, also known as 1-methylbutanol or 2-hydroxypentane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as secondary alcohols. A secondary alcohol that is pentane substituted at position 2 by a hydroxy group. Secondary alcohols are compounds containing a secondary alcohol functional group, with the general structure HOC(R)(R') (R,R'=alkyl, aryl). 2-Pentanol has been detected, but not quantified, in a few different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, fruits, and milk and milk products.
