Chemical Information
FooDB Name2-Methylheptane
Description2-methylheptane is a member of the class of compounds known as branched alkanes. Branched alkanes are acyclic branched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2. Thus, 2-methylheptane is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. 2-methylheptane can be found in black elderberry, which makes 2-methylheptane a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. 2-methylheptane can be found primarily in saliva. 2-methylheptane is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. 2-methylheptane is a branched alkane isomeric to octane. Its structural formula is (CH3)2CH(CH2)4CH3 . Treatment is mainly symptomatic and supportive. Gastric lavage, emesis, and the administration of activated charcoal should be avoided, as vomiting increases the risk of aspiration (A600) (T3DB).
