  • HMDB61874
Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethacrolein
DescriptionMethacrolein, also known as methacrylaldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as enals. These are an alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde of general formula RC=C-CH=O in which the aldehydic C=O function is conjugated to a C=C triple bond at the alpha,beta position. Methacrolein is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa).
