[(2R,3S)-2,3,4-trihydroxy-3-methylbutoxy]phosphonic acid
2-c-methyl-d-erythritol-4-phosphate is a member of the class of compounds known as monoalkyl phosphates. Monoalkyl phosphates are organic compounds containing a phosphate group that is linked to exactly one alkyl chain. 2-c-methyl-d-erythritol-4-phosphate is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-c-methyl-d-erythritol-4-phosphate can be found in a number of food items such as tea, narrowleaf cattail, chickpea, and rocket salad (sspecies), which makes 2-c-methyl-d-erythritol-4-phosphate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
