Chemical Information
FooDB Name2-hydroxy-3-pentanone
Description2-hydroxy-3-pentanone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyloins. These are organic compounds containing an alpha hydroxy ketone. Acyloins are formally derived from reductive coupling of carboxylic acyl groups. Thus, 2-hydroxy-3-pentanone is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon lipid molecule. 2-hydroxy-3-pentanone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 2-hydroxy-3-pentanone is an earthy, nut, and nutty tasting compound.
