Metabolite Identification

Common Name

4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one, 9CI

Description

4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one, also known as isopropylidene acetone or (CH3)2C=chc(=o)CH3, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as enones. Enones are compounds containing the enone functional group, with the structure RC(=O)CR'. 4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Thus, 4-methyl-3-penten-2-one is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon lipid molecule. 4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one is a sweet, acrylic, and chemical tasting compound. 4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as orange bell peppers, pepper (c. frutescens), herbs and spices, yellow bell peppers, and green bell peppers. This could make 4-methyl-3-penten-2-one a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. With regards to humans, 4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease.
