Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Heptanone
Description4-Heptanone, also known as dipropyl ketone or 4-oxoheptane, 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. Thus, 4-heptanone is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon lipid molecule. 4-Heptanone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. 4-Heptanone is a sweet, cheese, and cognac tasting compound. With regards to humans, 4-Heptanone has been found to be associated with several diseases such as kidney disease, perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, and autism; 4-heptanone has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease.
