Methyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate (BioDeep_00000018324)

描述信息

Methyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate, also known as 3-methylsulfanyl-propionic acid methyl ester or methyl beta -methylmercaptopropionate, is a member of the class of compounds known as methyl esters. Methyl esters are organic compounds containing a carboxyl group that is esterified with a methyl group. They have the general structure RC(=O)OR, where R=H or organyl group and R=methyl group. Methyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate is soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Methyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate is a sweet, garlic, and onion tasting compound found in alcoholic beverages and fruits, which makes methyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Methyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans.
Methyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate, also known as methyl beta -methylmercaptopropionate or fema 2720, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methyl esters. These are organic compounds containing a carboxyl group that is esterified with a methyl group. They have the general structure RC(=O)OR, where R=H or organyl group and R=methyl group. Methyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within pineapples. This could make methyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
