Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Hexanone
Description3-Hexanone, also known as 3-oxohexane or hexan-3-one, 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. 3-Hexanone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water and relatively neutral. 3-Hexanone is an ether and grape tasting compound. Outside of the human body, 3-Hexanone has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as pepper (capsicum), oregon yampahs, cinnamons, cloudberries, and cardamoms. 3-Hexanone, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, autism, and perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment. 3-hexanone has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease.
