Chemical Information
FooDB NameEthyl 2-methylpropanoate
DescriptionEthyl 2-methylpropanoate, also known as ethyl 2,2-dimethylacetate or isobutyric acid ethyl ester, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group). Ethyl 2-methylpropanoate is a sweet, alcoholic, and ethereal tasting compound. Ethyl 2-methylpropanoate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within red wine. Ethyl 2-methylpropanoate has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as pineapples (Ananas comosus), apples (Malus pumila), alcoholic beverages, evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus), and fruits. This could make ethyl 2-methylpropanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Ethyl 2-methylpropanoate.
