Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethyl decanoate
DescriptionMethyl decanoate, also known as metholene 2095 or methyl caprate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid methyl esters. Fatty acid methyl esters are compounds containing a fatty acid that is esterified with a methyl group. They have the general structure RC(=O)OR', where R=fatty aliphatic tail or organyl group and R'=methyl group. Methyl decanoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral.
