Chemical Information
FooDB Name2-Methyl-2-butanol
Description2-Methyl-2-butanol, also known as t-amyl alcohol or 2m2b, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tertiary alcohols. Tertiary alcohols are compounds in which a hydroxy group, -OH, is attached to a saturated carbon atom R3COH (R not H ). 2-Methyl-2-butanol is a pungent tasting compound. 2-Methyl-2-butanol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within grape wine. 2-Methyl-2-butanol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus), orange bell peppers (Capsicum annuum), blackberries (Rubus), green bell peppers (Capsicum annuum), and celeriacs (Apium graveolens var. rapaceum). This could make 2-methyl-2-butanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 2-Methyl-2-butanol.
