Metabolite Identification
Common Name5-Methyl-2-hexanone
Description5-Methyl-2-hexanone, also known as methyl isoamyl ketone or MIAK, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ketones. These are organic compounds in which a carbonyl group is bonded to two carbon atoms R2C=O (neither R may be a hydrogen atom). Ketones that have one or more alpha-hydrogen atoms undergo keto-enol tautomerization, the tautomer being an enol. 5-Methyl-2-hexanone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Thus, 5-methyl-2-hexanone is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon lipid molecule. 5-Methyl-2-hexanone has been detected, but not quantified, in a few different foods, such as eggs, fruits, and tea. This could make 5-methyl-2-hexanone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
