  <name>3-Methylbutanonitrile</name>
  <description>3-methylbutanonitrile, also known as iso(vl), is a member of the class of compounds known as nitriles. Nitriles are compounds having the structure RC#N; thus C-substituted derivatives of hydrocyanic acid, HC#N. 3-methylbutanonitrile can be found in kohlrabi, which makes 3-methylbutanonitrile a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
