Metabolite Identification
Common NameIso-Valeraldehyde
Description3-Methylbutanal, also known as isovaleraldehyde or iso-C4H9CHO, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-hydrogen aldehydes. These are aldehydes with the general formula HC(H)(R)C(=O)H, where R is an organyl group. 3-Methylbutanal exists as a liquid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. 3-Methylbutanal exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. 3-Methylbutanal has been found to be associated with several diseases known as ulcerative colitis, crohn's disease, hepatic encephalopathy, and perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment; also 3-methylbutanal has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including celiac disease.
