Metabolite Identification
Common NameEthyl pentyl ketone
DescriptionEthyl pentyl ketone, also known as 3-oxooctane or EAK, 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, ethyl pentyl ketone is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon lipid molecule. A dialkyl ketone that is octane in which the two methylene protons at position 3 have been replaced by an oxo group. Ethyl pentyl ketone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Ethyl pentyl ketone has been detected, but not quantified, in cardamoms and lemons. This could make ethyl pentyl ketone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Ethyl pentyl ketone, with regard to humans, has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease.
