Product Information
Name:3-Methylbutanal
Synonyms:
- Isovaleraldehyde
Brand:Biosynth
Description:3-Methylbutanal is a volatile aldehyde that is used as a catalyst in glycol ethers. 3-Methylbutanal is produced from caproic acid by the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase and can be detected in human serum or urine. The presence of 3-methylbutanal in biological samples can be analyzed using analytical methods such as gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, or solid phase microextraction. 3-Methylbutanal is also used as an intermediate for the synthesis of esters such as ethyl butyrate, methyl hexanoate, and methyl heptanoate. 3-Methylbutanal has been shown to inhibit the activity of enzymes that catalyze reactions involving the metabolism of fatty acids, glycerolipids, and sphingolipids. This inhibition leads to an accumulation of these substances which may lead to cell death.
