Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Methylbutyl 2-methylpropanoate
Description3-Methylbutyl 2-methylpropanoate, also known as isoamyl 2-methylpropanoate or isopentyl isobutyrate, 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). 3-Methylbutyl 2-methylpropanoate is an apricot, banana, and fruity tasting compound. 3-Methylbutyl 2-methylpropanoate has been detected, but not quantified in, bananas (Musa acuminata). This could make 3-methylbutyl 2-methylpropanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 3-Methylbutyl 2-methylpropanoate 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 3-Methylbutyl 2-methylpropanoate.
