Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Methylbutyrate
Description2-methylbutyrate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methyl-branched fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an acyl chain that has a methyl branch. Usually, they are saturated and contain only one or more methyl group. However, branches other than methyl may be present. 2-methylbutyrate is a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa).
