Metabolite Identification
Common NameDihydro-5-methyl-2(3H)-furanone
DescriptionDihydro-5-methyl-2(3H)-furanone, also known as 4-hydroxypentanoic acid lactone or 4-methyl-gamma-butyrolactone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. Thus, dihydro-5-methyl-2(3H)-furanone is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. Dihydro-5-methyl-2(3H)-furanone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral.
