Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-methyl-2-pentanol
Description3-methyl-2-pentanol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as secondary alcohols. Secondary alcohols are compounds containing a secondary alcohol functional group, with the general structure HOC(R)(R') (R,R'=alkyl, aryl). 3-methyl-2-pentanol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, 3-methyl-2-pentanol has been detected, but not quantified in, tea. This could make 3-methyl-2-pentanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. A secondary alcohol that is 3-methylpentane substituted at position 2 by a hydroxy group.
