Ipomoeamarone
1-[5-(furan-3-yl)-2-methyloxolan-2-yl]-4-methylpentan-2-one
Ipomoeamarone, also known as ipomeamarone, (2r-cis)-isomer or ngaione, is a member of the class of compounds known as heteroaromatic compounds. Heteroaromatic compounds are compounds containing an aromatic ring where a carbon atom is linked to an hetero atom. Ipomoeamarone is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Ipomoeamarone can be found in sweet potato, which makes ipomoeamarone a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
