Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethyl pentanoate
DescriptionMethyl pentanoate, also known as fema 2752 or methyl N-valerate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid methyl esters. Fatty acid methyl esters are compounds containing a fatty acid that is esterified with a methyl group. They have the general structure RC(=O)OR', where R=fatty aliphatic tail or organyl group and R'=methyl group. Methyl pentanoate is the ester formed by the condensation of pentanoic acid and methanol. Methyl pentanoate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral.
